Presentation copy
Congratulations on the new version of the CIMA magazine. Financial Management is a great presentational improvement on Management Accounting, which always seemed to have a "cut and paste" finish to it. Before, I always had the impression that every article submitted was printed in full and the typeface adjusted to fit the available space.

Where are the relevant management accountancy articles? And where is the student section?
I regularly read Accountancy and find this gives more relevant news and items that interest me as a management accountant. Can we have "accountant" or "accountancy" put back on the title page --...
