The methodology used was qualitative, applied in nature, using an exploratory approach to support the focus groups and the analysis of the results obtained, as well as bibliographical and multi-case procedures. The data was collected through two focus groups: one face-to-face and one online, followed by reports. Thus, among the results of the application of the Focus Group, it was observed the opening of new horizons in the field of academic research for students in the discipline and the rare use of qualitative methods in Accounting Sciences.
