Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) and Control Self-Assessments Training Course

Introduction
Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) and Risk and Control Self-Assessments (RCSAs) are vital components of an effective operational risk management system, enabling institutions to anticipate potential failures and strengthen internal controls. The Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) and Control Self-Assessments Training Course is a comprehensive program designed to build institutional capacity in designing, implementing, and managing risk monitoring tools and control frameworks. By empowering participants to identify early warning signals and assess control effectiveness, the course supports a proactive risk culture aligned with international standards and regulatory expectations.

Conducted over five intensive days, this course delivers both strategic insights and hands-on tools to enhance operational risk oversight. Participants will learn to design relevant KRIs, conduct thorough RCSAs, and integrate these tools into enterprise-wide risk governance structures. Using practical exercises, real-world case studies, and customizable templates, the training equips risk professionals with the knowledge to improve decision-making, prevent losses, and support organizational resilience in dynamic operating environments.
