What is the MOST important consideration when selecting key performance indicators (KPIs) for control monitoring?
When selecting key performance indicators (KPIs) for control monitoring, the most important consideration is that the source information is consistently available. Consistent availability of data ensures that KPIs can be measured and monitored regularly, allowing for effective tracking and assessment of performance over time. Without consistent data availability, it is impossible to rely on the KPIs for accurate and meaningful insights.
I believe C KPIs should be SMART • Specific-based on a clearly understood goal; clear and concise • Measurable-able to be measured; quantifiable (objective), not subjective • Attainable-realistic; based on important goals and values • Relevant-directly related to a specific activity or goal • Timely-grounded in a specific time frame Additionally, KPis should be: • Valuable to the business • Tied to a business function or service • Under the control of management • Quantitatively measured • Usable in different reporting periods (for consistency)

The most important consideration when selecting key performance indicators (KPIs) for control monitoring is that the source information is consistently available. Reliable and consistent data availability ensures that KPIs can be tracked and monitored over time, providing accurate and actionable insights for effective control monitoring.
Consistent availability of source information is critical for monitoring KPIs because it ensures that the data can be reliably gathered over time.
