Reston, Va. (Vocus/PRWEB ) May 21, 2008 –- Approva® Corporation (www.approva.net), the leader in controls intelligence solutions, today announced that CEO Prashanth "PV" Boccasam is a finalist for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year® 2008 Award in the Greater Washington Region. According to Ernst & Young, the awards program was designed to recognize outstanding entrepreneurs on a regional, national and global level who are building and leading dynamic, growing businesses.

Chairman and CEO Prashanth "PV" Boccasam
"I am deeply honored to be a finalist for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award," said Boccasam. "This recognition is a testament to Approva’s leadership in the governance, risk and compliance (GRC) sector and our world class team of professionals that are dedicated to innovation and customer success. Approva has demonstrated consistent growth in the last five years and is now the de-facto controls intelligence solutions used by Global 2000 and Accounting and Risk Advisory firms."
PV has been Approva's Chairman and CEO since he founded the company in 2001. As reports of corporate financial misstatements were first emerging, he envisioned a huge market potential in developing controls intelligence solutions that would continuously monitor key processes to prevent another Enron or WorldCom from happening. Over the last seven years, PV has transformed Approva from an idea on a white board to a market leader in controls intelligence software. Approva customers have moved beyond segregation of duties monitoring and SOX compliance to a more end-to-end approach to controls of their mission-critical business processes.
With the Approva BizRights® Platform and Controls Intelligence Suite, companies can also monitor critical transactions, master data, key business processes at a much deeper level and take calculated risks while preventing fraud or other financial catastrophes.
The Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year awards program celebrates its 22nd anniversary this year. The program has expanded to recognize business leaders in over 135 cities in 50 countries throughout the world. Regional award winners are eligible for consideration for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year national program.
