Pinnacle Mutual Life Insurance Company
Abstract
Pinnacle Mutual is one of the largest mutual life insurance companies in the world. Offering a full range of financial services, it competes with a broad group of financial service providers. In an effort to compete more effectively, Pinnacle adopted GAAP accounting and established profit centers in 1985. The case contains a description of the processes used to create profit centers and some of the implementation problems that were encountered.
