Stalla Review enters into exclusive provider agreement with CFA Society of the United Kingdom

OAKBROOK TERRACE, Ill.--(Business Wire)--
Becker Professional Review, a global leader in professional
education serving the accounting and finance professions and a
division of DeVry Inc. (NYSE: DV), today announced the signing of an
exclusive provider agreement between its Chartered Financial
Analyst(R) (CFA(R)) review program, Stalla Review, and the CFA Society
of the United Kingdom (CFA UK). Under the agreement, Stalla will
partner with CFA UK to offer its online and self-study CFA review
courses and programs to CFA candidates in the United Kingdom.

The CFA charter is awarded to investment professionals who have
passed three comprehensive and rigorous examinations and have also met
stringent professional investment experience requirements. The CFA
designation, recognized by employers and clients alike, is considered
the gold standard for investment management competency and
professionalism.

"Our newest partnership with the CFA Society of the United Kingdom
allows us to reach CFA candidates throughout the UK and provide them
with access to our top quality online and self-study products," said
Thomas Vucinic, President of Becker Professional Review. "We are proud
to be serving CFA UK as their exclusive provider and we believe that
this collaboration will be extremely beneficial to the ever growing
number of candidates in the CFA Program."

"We are dedicated to providing finance professionals with
world-class CFA exam preparation resources," said Will Goodhart, Chief
Executive of CFA UK. "This alliance will help our students by offering
broader access to Stalla's comprehensive, distance-based course
programs, including its Mock Exam and Review seminars."

An information session led by Peter Olinto, one of Stalla's
National Instructors, will be held on August 7th in London from 5:30
p.m. to 8:15 p.m. at the Reuters Auditorium. The topic of the
information session will be Financial Statement Analysis, one of the
most heavily tested topics on the CFA (R) Level I Exam. This
expert-led seminar reviews the foundational concepts of financial
statement analysis - a critical first step to being prepared to answer
questions about critical accounting- related topics such as:

-- Basic accounting concepts and equations

-- The role of financial statements in assessing company
performance and position

-- Supplementary financial information and tools utilized in
security analysis

-- Classifications of business activities for financial reporting

-- The relationships of financial statement elements and accounts

-- International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) frameworks,

standards
