Principle 
 
 
Member Organisations should define, approve, and monitor KRIs to measure and evaluate position against agreed Fraud Risk Appetite and provide an early indication of increasing fraud risk exposure. 
 
 
Control Requirements 
 
 
a.The KRIs defined by the Member Organisation should be based on a documented methodology which should require:
 
 
 1.KRIs to monitor exposure against the risks identified in the Fraud Risk Assessment.
 
 2.KRIs to consider risks to the organisation (e.g., fraud losses, reputational impact, operational management of fraud alerts) and its customers (e.g., customer losses).
 
 3.KRIs to be approved by the CFGC or wider Risk Committee which governs the Counter-Fraud Programme in line with the requirements included in sub-domain 3.1.
 
 4.All KRIs to have a documented owner who is responsible for monitoring the KRI and taking early action if risk exposure exceeds Fraud Risk Appetite.
 
 5.KRIs to be periodically reported to Senior Management and relevant stakeholders (minimum on a quarterly basis).
 
 6.KRIs to be reviewed and updated at a minimum on an annual basis and more frequently in response to material changes to the fraud landscape or the Member Organisation Fraud Risk Assessment.
 
b.KRIs should be forward looking and provide an early indication of increasing fraud risk exposure rather than simply measuring fraud volumes or losses (e.g., controls rated as ineffective in control testing; failure of employees to complete mandatory fraud training; or fraud alerts not reviewed within defined service level agreements).
 
 
c.When developing KRIs, Member Organisations should define thresholds that allow them to determine whether the actual result of measurement is below, on, or above the targeted risk appetite position.
 
 
d.Member Organisations should ensure that metrics associated with KRIs are complete, accurate and generated on a timely basis.
