Q: 10
The Director of Finance, William Seaton, has stopped you in the corridor:
“Your report was really helpful, but the Board is still considering the implications of that email from
Jan Archibald at Fouce Oil. I need to make a more detailed report to the Board and I would like you to
draft it for me.
I know that we have owned and operated oil wells in the past, but that has always been with the
intention of finding a buyer who is prepared to pay a realistic price. We have chosen never to think
about the implications of keeping wells.
I need a report from you that covers the following issues:
The key political risks of retaining our interest in these oil wells, with particular emphasis on
high consequence, high likelihood risks.
A suitable response to each of your political risks.
An overview of how changes in the global economy and the demand for oil could affect the
decision to proceed.
The challenges associated with putting together a management team to take charge of the
production side of this proposed new
strategy.
I realise that this is a lot to ask of you, but I need you to move quickly because of the interest from
our biggest shareholder.”
