Risk Management; Implementation; Risk Management in IFES.
This work analyzes the difficulties encountered in the process of implementing risk management at the Universidade Federal Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN). The research is a descriptive case study, of applied nature and qualitative approach, utilizing a cross-sectional scope, carried out through documental, bibliographic and field research with implementers, members of the Risk and Internal Controls Management Committee and risk managers. The results indicate that the implementation of risk management at UFRN stopped at the monitoring stage. Among the main difficulties for the effective implementation of risk management in the institution are: the insufficient number of implementers; the excess of demands; inadequate training of staff, and a lack of stronger actions from top management to support and foster the development of a risk management culture within the institution. Risk management, as a governance mechanism at UFRN, is an area with significant potential, representing more than just a regulatory requirement, as it directly impacts both the support and finalistic activities of the institution.
