# Associate a PA indicator with a risk statement or control objective

You can associate Performance Analytics indicators with risk statements and policy statements to analyze trends related to the risk or policy.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_risk.manager or sn\_compliance.manager

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to one of the following locations:

    -   **All** > **Policy and Compliance** > **Policies and Procedures** > **Control objectives**.
    -   **All** > **Risk** > **Risk Library** > **Risk Statements**.
2.  Open a risk statement or control objective.

3.  In the **PA Indicators** related list, click **New**.

4.  On the form, fill in the fields.

    |Field|Description|
    |-----|-----------|
    |PA Indicator|The performance analytics indicator to associate the Risk Statement or control objective with.|

5.  Click **Submit**.

    On the risk statement or control objective form, in the **PA Indicators** related list, you see the associated indicator. You can optionally click **View Indicator** on the desired indicator to see the Performance Analytics scorecard of the indicator. The PA Indicator associations are carried over to all risks or controls associated to the original risk statement or control objective. Also, if the indicator has a breakdown that matches the risk or entity of the control \(for example a Business Service breakdown\), the **Breakdown** and **Element** fields for the relationship are automatically filled in.
