Abstract
Key capabilities and considerations required by auditors form the basis of this manual. An Intellectual Property (IP) Audit is a systematic review of the intellectual properties owned, used or acquired by organizations and businesses. It assesses and manages risk, and works to remedy problems and implement best practices in IP asset management. IP management issues and potential conflicts can arise in government funding schemes, which is a key function of science granting councils (SGC). In order to facilitate inter-regional cooperation of researchers in different countries and parts of the world, SGCs will confront differing IP systems.
