There is confusion, however. Read p.8 ("A Letter From the Publisher") of Feb. 1999 (80:8) of MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING which says the March '99 issue will be IMA's "new monthly flagship publication" called STRATEGIC FINANCE. The next paragraph states that the monthly MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING "will be re-launched as a quarterly later this year." This left me wondering whether I was dealing with a title change or the start of an additional publication. I phoned the publisher (1-800-638-4427, Circulation/Subscriptions Dept.) and am still confused. The customer representative claims firmly that MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING IS a title change to STRATEGIC FINANCE and will continue as a monthly. When I quoted the statement regarding "re-launched as a quarterly," I was told that the publisher has plans to issue MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING in the fall of this year as an ADDITIONAL publication on a quarterly basis! Title change, new publication, "something in between?" While on the phone with the customer representative, I couldn't resist politely telling her that this type of publication schedule causes untold headaches for libraries! Does anyone have more clear and accurate information than this??? Thanks!!
