Sample Question:
Which of the following best describes the primary purpose of a Key Risk Indicator (KRI)?
A. To quantify the financial impact of a risk event
B. To provide early warning signals of increasing risk exposure
C. To document the legal requirements for compliance audits
D. To assign accountability for risk ownership to department heads

Correct Answer: B. To provide early warning signals of increasing risk exposure

Explanation: A Key Risk Indicator (KRI) is a metric used to monitor the level of risk exposure over time and to provide timely signals when risk levels are approaching or exceeding tolerance thresholds. KRIs are proactive tools that enable risk owners to take corrective action before an event occurs. While financial impact (A) may be assessed through quantitative analysis, it is not the function of a KRI. Legal documentation (C) relates to compliance reporting, and assigning ownership (D) is part of governance, not monitoring. KRIs are specifically designed for early detection and continuous oversight.
