It must be much more sophisticated and precise. The financial manager must coordinate the budget-development process, which will involve most of the agency, and then provide effective tracking and accountability for the results.

As organizations retain greater levels of risk, the need to manage that exposure becomes paramount. Using captive insurance subsidiaries may become more prevalent in the years ahead. In addition to potential tax benefits, captive arrangements offer substantial flexibility to meet changing risk financing needs. As a separate corporate entity, a wholly owned captive also enhances an organization's management perspective. Trend 3: Integrated disability management programs are more common.
