DENVER, CO--(Marketwire - December 16, 2009) - Clifton Gunderson (http://www.cliftoncpa.com),
one of the nation's largest certified public accounting and consulting

earned the Certified Construction Industry Financial Professional (CCIFP)
designation, a distinction that shows individuals have met the highest
standards of construction financial management. There are fewer than 35

professionals with the CCIFP designation, which demonstrates the value and
insight we bring to our construction clients."
