Managing the Details of an Undertaking is a compilation CD and DVD package by the San Diego, California rock band Counterfit, released in 2007 by One Bad Landing Records. It was a posthumous release, as the group had disbanded in 2004. The CD portion of the release compiles rare, unreleased, and out-of-print songs from the band's career. The DVD portion includes a 76-minute documentary film of Counterfit's final tour from July 23 to September 15, 2004 in support of Finch and Recover. It also includes their entire farewell show, the music video for "Better Late Than Never," band commentary, and over 40 minutes of additional live footage. The package's title is taken from the title of a song from the band's only full-length album Super Amusement Machine for Your Exciting Heart.
