This paper introduced the audit of SCHIP by United States Government Accountability Office （GAO） and the Centers for Medicare ＆ Medicaid Services （CMS） . We analyzed the three distinctive characteristics of U.S. public policy audit： the standardization of audit procedures, applying the scientific methods during audit, and the diversification of audit forms. Learning from the successful practices of America, we put forward a series of recommendations to Chinese public policy audit, which include putting the public policy audit into national audit development planning, promoting the institutionalization and standardization of public policy audit, improving the legal protection and the methods of audit, establishing the framework of audit, strengthening the theoretical guide and the policy track, choosing the best opportunity of audit, insisting on risk-control oriented and the prudence principle, and promoting the scientific of public policies audit.
