About this course

Risk metrics play a critical role in helping organisations dynamically monitor risk and respond to a constantly changing environment. To be effective, risk metrics must be grounded in real business and risk data gathered from across the organisation and translated into meaningful insights for decision-makers.

While you may be responsible for collecting or reporting on specific risk metrics, these activities are only a means to an end. When designed and used well, risk metrics provide early warning signals, highlight emerging trends, and prompt timely action. This course focuses on how risk metrics can be used to support informed decision-making and highlights the pivotal role people play in an effective risk metrics process.
