Proposta de modelo de gestão de riscos para uma IFES visando a realização de auditoria baseada em riscos

Organizations are susceptible to the occurrence of many events that may affect the achievement of their objectives. As a result, Brazilian Public Administration supervisory bodies have required institutions to adopt risk management policies. Given the large number of recommendations issued by Federal Audit Court (TCU) to various Federal Institutions of Higher Education (IFES) in this area, it is proposed a risk management model for Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN). This is an applied, exploratory and qualitative study. Regarding to technical procedures, it is characterized as documentary analysis, bibliographical research, case study and action research. The bibliographical research was used to support the elaboration of the Risk Management Guide for Federal Institutions of Higher Education (GERIFES). The documentary analysis, in turn, was used with the aim of knowing the organizational structure and the university´s macroprocesses. The author works in the university internal auditing department and shares the same problem. This characterizes the work as an action research. The case study supported both the elaboration of the guide and the simulation of the specific functionality for the university information system, demonstrated through the User Manual Module "Risk Management" proposed for the Integrated System of Property, Administration and Contracts (SIPAC). This manual has been prepared in order to facilitate the use of this tool if it will be incorporated into the university information system. As research results, a risk management model for UFRN was elaborated and a simulation of an informational tool, which is able to manage risks related to events that may affect the achievement of institutional objectives, was provided to the university administration.
