CPAs Can Earn Credit for Learning How to Identify and Reduce Their Financial Risks

Denver, CO, December 5, 2002 - Decisioneering, Inc., developer of the award-winning Crystal BallŪ line of decision analysis software, has been recognized by the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) as a qualified provider of continuing professional education (CPE) credits. CPAs who attend Decisioneering's training courses can now earn CPE credits for their continuing certification while learning techniques that can help to identify and reduce their business risks.

Since rolling out its international training program six years ago, Decisioneering has trained thousands of users in dozens of industries. Decisioneering's customer base of over 100,000 users enables targeted training by function and profession. In conjunction with industry partners, Decisioneering has trained users in corporate finance, project planning, oil and gas, and Six Sigma. The company's current curriculum includes courses that teach effective risk analysis and business forecasting skills to all levels of professionals.

NASBA, which serves as a forum for the 54 U.S. boards of accountancy, sponsors a variety of programs and services designed to enhance the effectiveness of its member boards. NASBA's National Registry of CPE Sponsors lists organizations that provide high-quality training and education in accordance with nationally recognized standards. Decisioneering was approved as a sponsor after NASBA's thorough review of the company's training course materials and trainer qualifications.

CPAs will earn from 8 to 16 CPE credits after attending any of Decisioneering's risk analysis, real options, and decision analysis seminars or software training courses. Upon completion of a class, students receive a course certificate that includes all information required by the Registry.

"We're very pleased to be able to offer our professional students credit for their continuing education requirements," says Dr. Johnathan Mun, Decisioneering's VP of Analytical Services.
