Then take a look at this paper:
Composing contracts: an adventure in financial engineering
by Simon Peyton Jones, Jean-Marc Eber, Julian Seward
"Financial and insurance contracts do not sound like promising territory for functional programming and formal semantics, but in fact we have discovered that insights from programming languages bear directly on the complex subject of describing and valuing a large class of contracts."
Should be definitely worth a read for you!
