Compliance KPIs, Metrics & Benchmarks

What are Compliance KPIs?

Compliance metrics and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) measure the compliance department’s ability to keep its organization in line with policies - both internal and external, as well as government regulations. Common compliance functions include internal audit, compliance training, policy enforcement, and risk management. Compliance KPIs can act as important, leading indicators of potential risk.

Monitoring Potential Risks with Compliance KPIs & Metrics

Compliance teams often use metrics and KPIs as risk-assessment tools and measurements of compliance success. Compliance KPIs can be implemented as an early warning system to detect potential compliance issues, and help the business move quickly to implement controls or other measures to prevent regulatory action, bad publicity and/or employee dissatisfaction. Certain compliance metrics may also be referred to as Key Risk Indicators, or KRIs.
