Reston, VA (Vocus/PRWEB ) August 25, 2008 -- Approva ® Corporation (www.approva.net), the leader in controls intelligence software, is forming a joint venture partnership with BDO Malaysia which establishes BDO as the company’s reseller in the Malaysian market. The partnership with the leading international accounting and consulting firm will enable Approva to expand its operations in the Asia Pacific region to meet the growing demand for governance, risk and compliance (GRC) solutions.
“There is growing recognition from leading organizations across the Asia Pacific region that good corporate governance plays a critical role in the long-term success of their business,” said Dato’ AhTee Gan, Managing Partner, BDO Malaysia. "The Approva BizRights® controls intelligence software is recognized as the leading platform in the GRC market, and we are truly excited to represent Approva’s products in Malaysia and expand the services we offer to our customers," said HuckHai Lim, Partner, Risk Advisory Services, BDO Malaysia and a member of BDO International’s Global IT Advisory Committee.
The new partnership will focus on two primary objectives:
-- Satisfy the Growing Demand in Asia Pacific for Compliance Solutions: With the complex and unique nature of regulatory requirements across the Asia Pacific region, there is strong demand for solutions which can reduce risk, automate compliance obligations and prevent fraud. The Approva-BDO joint venture will provide significant additional resources to support customers in Malaysia, leveraging the detailed understanding of local GRC issues provided by BDO’s professional services teams.
