Item 4:  Change in Registrant's Certifying Accountant

PricewaterhouseCoopers  LLP was previously the principal  accountant for Salomon
Smith Barney Global Diversified Futures Fund L.P. (the "Pool"). On July 9, 2002,
that firm was  dismissed  as  principal  accountant  and KPMG LLP was engaged as
principal  accountant.  The decision to change  accountants  was approved by the
general partner of the Pool.

In connection  with the audits of the two fiscal years ended  December 31, 2001,
and   through    July   9,   2002,    there   were   no    disagreements    with
PricewaterhouseCoopers  LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial  statement  disclosure,   or  auditing  scope  or  procedures,   which
disagreements  if not resolved to their  satisfaction  would have caused them to
make  reference  thereto in their report on the  financial  statements  for such
years.

The audit reports of  PricewaterhouseCoopers  LLP on the financial statements of
the  Pool as of and for the  years  ended  December  31,  2001  and 2000 did not
contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle.

A letter from  PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is attached as Exhibit 16 to this Form
8-K.

Pursuant to the  requirements  of the Securities Act of 1934, the registrant has
duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the  undersigned  hereunto
duly authorized.

Salomon Smith Barney Global Diversified Futures Fund L.P.
