Summary:This research examines the relationship between ten budget-related behaviour(BRB)variables and twenty-three management accounting control systems (MACS) variables for private sector organisations.

Canonical correlation analysis shows that the relationship between BRB and MACS is significant for companies in general and for companies adopting the prospector strategy.
