Budgeting

3.2 Incentive schemes

Budgets by themselves have a limited motivational effect. It is the reward structure
that is linked to achieving the budget requirements, or lack of reward for non-
achievement, which provides the real underlying motivational potential of budgets.

There are three main types of incentive schemes:

 Performance related pay (PRP)

 Bonus schemes

 Profit sharing
