Dechert and Pericles invite you to an exclusive screening of

A Price Worth Paying?

which promises an evening of movie-spec entertainment and lively discussion.

A Price Worth Paying? is a corporate crisis 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 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 the importance of directors asking all of the right questions.

“One of the most professional, star-studded examples of an underappreciated genre: the corporate training video” is how The Wall Street Journal described the film in an article on the front page of the 16th July 2013 edition.
“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.” - Alan Thomson, Chairman, Hays plc & Bodycote plc; board member at HSBC and Alstom.

Directed by Nick White, who was short-listed for an award from BAFTA (the British Academy of Film and Television Arts) in 2011, A Price Worth Paying? features an all star cast of actors.

Commentary will be provided by Dechert  Associate expert Kirill Skopchevskiy during breaks in the film as the story unfolds.
