CHIAP Practice Quiz
Test your knowledge by taking a sample evaluation quiz.
The CHIAP Certification Exam consists of 175 multiple choice questions, including 150 scored items and 25 unscored items for use on future exam forms. Candidates will have four hours to complete the exam. Each item in the examination was carefully developed in accordance with the Body of Knowledge (BOK) established from a job analysis study of the healthcare internal audit industry.
The BOK is guided by overarching internal audit principles, as well as principles for compliance and privacy. These principles are applied in the acute care, post-acute care, ambulatory care, and health plan settings. The exam items are distributed among the BOK topics, which cover four categories: Business Aspects of Care Setting, Revenue Cycle, Regulatory Environment, and Core Business Functions
See the candidate handbook to review the complete BOK outline.
