They wouldn't want you to know it all depends on a Frankensteined chunk of spaghetti'd COBOL that hasn't been updated since a guy they forgot about set it up before he retired in like 1996. And they're just betting that, if they don't look at it too hard, it won't oopsie a cascade of critical failures.
