London Premiere of "A Price Worth Paying?"
A Price Worth Paying? is a new drama movie showing how important it is for boards of directors to monitor all risks affecting their companies and for boards to react in the right way when a crisis strikes. The movie focuses on the difficult issues of execution compensation in the Remuneration Committee, the evaluation of risk around an acquisition in an emerging market, the depth of enquiry of an Audit Committee and the adequacy of the response to a serious whistleblower allegation. It reinforces the importance of setting the right “tone from the top” and the importance of directors asking all of the right questions.
Written by former Dechert partner Duncan Wiggetts and directed by Nick White, who was shortlisted for the BAFTA Short Film Awards in 2011, A Price Worth Paying? features an all-star cast led by well-known UK television and film actor Phil Davis (Whitechapel, Silk, Vera Drake).
"A Price Worth Paying?" is a superb quality film which raises awareness of important issues facing a board in the most dramatic fashion. It has been cleverly designed to provoke uncomfortable, but much needed, debate.
