E-book interativo sobre propriedade intelectual para auditores internos de instituições federais de ensino

Abstract

Internal auditing, given its strategic relevance, must act on processes related to Intellectual Property (IP), issuing recommendations that add value to Federal Institutions of Higher Education (IFEs). This study aimed to train internal auditors of these institutions through the development of an interactive e-book covering key concepts and processes related to IP. The proposal sought to offer a didactic material, enriched with interactive resources that promote engagement, understanding, and knowledge retention among the target professionals. The research is classified as exploratory with a qualitative approach and employed bibliographic and documentary methods for data collection. Initially, a survey of existing materials on IP and auditing was conducted to identify gaps in the literature. Subsequently, two prototypes of interactive e-books were developed and evaluated by internal auditors to guide the creation of the final product. The final e-book incorporated the most relevant content identified in the research, along with elements such as videos, hyperlinks, complementary materials, practical exercises, and document templates tailored to audit practices. The results revealed a lack of didactic materials focused on training internal auditors in the field of Intellectual Property, highlighting the originality and importance of the proposal. The developed e-book

proved to be an effective training tool, enabling auditors to better understand IP- related processes and to issue more accurate recommendations in their activities. It

is concluded that the product contributes to strengthening internal audit practices in IFEs, fostering governance, institutional integrity, and risk management.
