UML is a notation that facilitates communications (amongst other things).  If 
UML helps get the message across, there is no reason not to use it.  If you 
need to express concepts that traditionally had been captured using flow 
charts, UML activity diagrams and/or state charts will likely allow you to do 
the same.
