Course Overview
Risk metrics support dynamic monitoring of risk, enabling organisations to adapt and respond to changing environments. This requires understanding and collecting business and risk data from the frontlines of the organisation, and aggregating it into meaningful information for decision makers.
You might be tasked with collecting or reporting on specific risk metrics in your organisation, but this is just a means to an end. When done well, risk metrics can provide insight into how risks are evolving, alert stakeholders when they need to take action, and help inform decisions. This course highlights the pivotal role people play in a comprehensive risk metrics process.
