Term Definition

Key Risk Indicator (KRI)

A metric measuring the evolution of risk exposure over time.
A KRI is a forward-looking metric that alerts on a potential increase in risk before an incident occurs. Unlike a KPI which measures past performance, a KRI anticipates. Example: high turnover rate as a KRI for internal fraud risk.
