Which of the following attributes of a key risk indicator (KRI) is MOST important?

Answer options

• A. Repeatable
• B. Qualitative
• C. Automated
• D. Quantitative

Correct answer: A

Explanation

While qualitative, automated, and quantitative attributes are important, they do not ensure the KRI can be reliably used in different scenarios or time periods.
