Key Risk Indicators and Risk Reporting Dashboards

Equips risk teams to select, calibrate and visualise leading indicators that warn management before risks materialise. Uses African operating examples across banking, telecommunications and utilities to show how thresholds, escalation triggers and dashboards keep boards informed. Participants practise turning cluttered risk registers into concise, decision ready reports.

Select meaningful indicators linked to the organisation's principal risks.
Calibrate thresholds, tolerances and escalation triggers for each indicator.
Design clear risk dashboards for management and board audiences.
Interpret indicator trends to prompt timely management action.
Review and refresh the indicator set as the risk profile changes.
