If a Company changes its name how to effect the name change from the effective date. For eg Company ABC Ltd chanes the neme to DEF Ltd from Jan 1 2011. Where do i specify the effective date. If i do not specify effective date, even for old tranasactions (prior to 1,Jan 2011)like invoices the new name will appear which is wrong
