   I, John
R. Emery, Chief Financial Officer of Ventiv Health, Inc., certify that:
 1.
    I have reviewed this quarterly report on
      Form 10-Q of Ventiv Health, Inc.;
  2.
    Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report
      does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
      a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the
      circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with
      respect to the period covered by this quarterly report;
  3.
    Based on my knowledge, the financial
      statements, and other financial information included in this report,
      fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results
      of operations and cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods
      presented in this quarterly report;
  4.
    The registrant’s other certifying officer and I
      are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and
      procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e))
      and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act
      Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and we
      have:
 
 a)
    Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or
      caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our
      supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the
      registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us
      by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which
      this report is being prepared;
  b)
    Designed such internal control over financial reporting,
      or caused such internal control over financial reporting to be designed
      under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
      reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
      statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
      accounting principles;
  c)
    Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's
      disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this report our
      conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and
      procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report based on
      such evaluation; and
  d)
    Disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's
      internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
      registrant's most recent fourth fiscal quarter that has materially
      affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's
      internal control over financial reporting; and
   5.
    The registrant’s other certifying officer and I
      have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control
      over financial reporting, to the registrant’s auditors and the audit
      committee of the registrant’s board of
directors:
  a)
    all
      significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
      operation of internal controls over financial reporting which are
      reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant’s ability to record,
      process, summarize and report financial information; and
  b)
    any
      fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
      employees who have a significant role in the registrant’s internal control
      over financial
reporting.
