  “Performance-Related Bonus”是ACCA考试科目P1的主要知识点之一,很多ACCA学员在复习的过程中对于这块知识点的掌握度不够,导致在ACCA考试失利。为了帮助广大ACCA学员提高对ACCA P1的复习效率,中国ACCA考试网将ACCA P1的知识点“Performance-Related Bonus”特别拎出来,希望可以帮助大家提高ACCA P1的学习效率。

  1.Background
 
  Performance-related elements have caused the most controversy in recent years with some directors being awarded a bonus even though their firms have underperformed(and in some cases made substantial losses)or failed to meet or exceed the sector average.
 
  A balance between short-and long-term bonus schemes should be found.The ICGN recommends a minimum bonus period of one year(and not,for example,quarterly)and that bonuses should be based on a percentage of basic salary(or subject to a fixed"cap").
 
  A danger of bonus schemes is the directors'ability to manipulate the target results on which bonuses are based(e.g.revenue,profits).Achieving sales targets,in particular,may result in questionable,unethical practices by directors and employees.
 
  2.Best-Practice Guidelines
 
  The remuneration committee should consider whether directors are eligible for:
 
  ·Annual bonuses.If so,performance conditions should be relevant,challenging and designed to enhance shareholder value.
 
  ·Benefits under long-term incentive schemes.*
 
  Upper limits should be set and disclosed.There may be a case for part payment in shares to be held for a significant period.
 
  In normal circumstances,shares granted or other forms of deferred remuneration should not vest,and options should not be exercisable,in fewer than three years.
 
  Directors should be encouraged to hold their shares for a further period after vesting or exercise(subject to the need to finance any purchase costs and associated tax liabilities).
 
  Proposals for new long-term incentive schemes should be approved by shareholders and preferably replace existing schemes.Total potential rewards should not be excessive.
 
  Payouts or grants under all incentive schemes should be subject to"challenging performance criteria"reflecting the firm's objectives.
 
  Challenging performance criteria should:
 
  ·relate to overall corporate performance;
 
  ·demonstrate that demanding levels of financial performance have been achieved in the context of the firm's prospects and the prevailing economic environment;
 
  ·be measured relative to an appropriate,defined peer group or other relevant benchmark;and
 
  ·be disclosed and transparent.
 
  Criteria which reflect the firm's performance relative to comparable companies(e.g.shareholder return)should be considered.
 
  "Sliding scales"generally provide a better motivator for improving corporate performance than a"single hurdle"by encouraging exceptional performance.
 
  Rewards under executive share option plans(ESOPs)and other long-term incentive schemes should normally be phased over a set period.
 
  In general,only basic salary should be pensionable.
 
  Consequences of basic salary increases(e.g.on pension costs)should be considered,especially for directors close to retirement.

ACCA考试百科
ACCA在国内被称为国际注册会计师,是全球权威的财会金融领域的证书之一,更是国际认可范围高的财务人员资格证书。
ACCA当中的Chartered全称为RoyalCharter,指的是其会员得到英国皇室授予皇家特许名衔,这个只有部分顶尖的组织和机构才会被授予;Certified为注册之意,指的是其会员行使的是具有法律效力的权益(所以鉴定一张证书是否是一张高含金量的证书,比较简单的方法就是看证书的全称当中是否有任何一个“C”) 。
