Resources Connection Announces Significant Upgrade To Its policyIQ™ Compliance Software

Costa Mesa, CA - June 22, 2004 -- Resources Connection, Inc. (NASDAQ: RECN), an international professional services firm, released Version 5.2 of its proprietary policyIQ™ software today. With the addition of a unique WhistleBlower module, policyIQ™ is the first software that adds anonymous employee reporting to a content management solution that is already being used for Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 and Section 302 compliance, enterprise-wide policy and procedure management, and related corporate governance initiatives by more than 50 companies across multiple industries.

The new WhistleBlower component effectively satisfies current regulations that require companies to maintain an employee function for submitting anonymous corporate issues or concerns. Using the new module, companies can designate WhistleBlower managers to receive anonymous employee communications and correspond with the WhistleBlower employee confidentially and anonymously to follow up on reported concerns.

"Our improved software package enables us to provide a flexible and cost effective long-term solution for public companies to meet the stringent demands of Sarbanes-Oxley and other corporate compliance issues," said Rocco Tarasi, National Director of Resources Connection. "We are especially pleased to offer WhistleBlower as a value-added component, differentiating policyIQ™ from all other Sarbanes-Oxley software solutions on the market today. Because policyIQ™ can be easily implemented across an entire enterprise to improve all policies and procedures, our Sarbanes clients have already expanded its use to their IT, operations and human resources departments. We will continue to offer clients additional options and versatility that will distinguish policyIQ™ as a single-source solutions package for companies of all sizes and needs."

Additional upgrades to the Company's policyIQ™ software include supplementary reporting options, improved workflow menus, and other administrative improvements. The software's communication features for control updates automatically alerts employees when controls in their area are changed or created, a critical element that is often absent from Sarbanes tools and overlooked by companies focused on documentation and testing. Designed on a highly powerful content management platform, Version 5.2 provides comprehensive conversion services for companies seeking to transition away from their current software.
