About this exam
The Certified Healthcare Internal Auditor (CHIA) Examination is a professional credentialing assessment for people responsible for evaluating governance, risk management, and controls in healthcare organizations. It is relevant to internal auditors, compliance professionals, and accountants seeking to apply audit skills in hospitals, health systems, and other care settings. Rather than focusing only on financial statements, healthcare internal auditing also requires understanding patient-care processes, privacy obligations, revenue operations, and the regulatory environment. Candidates should use current official CHIA guidance to confirm the credential’s purpose and requirements.
Preparation for the CHIA exam should connect audit fundamentals with the risks and controls unique to healthcare. Review healthcare internal audit standards and professional ethics, risk assessment and annual planning, controls in patient-care and revenue operations, and compliance auditing, including HIPAA privacy controls. Accountants may find it useful to follow transactions and information through an entire healthcare process, not just review financial results. Compare your study plan with the current official exam outline, if provided; question-based review can help identify topics that need more attention.
How to prepare for the CHIA Examination
- Start with current official CHIA exam and candidate guidance, and use its published subject outline to organize your review rather than assuming the content or requirements are unchanged from a prior year.
- Study risk assessment and annual audit planning alongside healthcare internal audit standards and ethics; practice explaining how audit scope, evidence, and reporting should respond to identified risks.
- Review patient-care, revenue-cycle, compliance, and HIPAA privacy controls. Use timed question sets to check recall, then revisit the reasoning behind missed answers and connect each topic to a realistic healthcare audit scenario.
