A Price Worth Paying? Proactive risk management for portfolio company nominee directors

 
July 01, 2016
Singapore

As showcased on the front page of The Wall Street Journal, A Price Worth Paying? is a corporate crisis drama demonstrating how important it is for boards of directors to monitor all risks affecting their companies and to react in the right way when a crisis strikes. The movie focuses on the difficult issues of executive compensation, 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 directors asking the right questions and ensuring that their directives are implemented. It is an invaluable tool for private equity firms to ensure that they get the best out of their nominee director appointments.

Written by former Dechert partner Duncan Wiggetts and directed by BAFTA nominated Nick White, A Price Worth Paying? features an all-star cast of television and film actors.

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.”
