You worked for a bank.

I had a co-worker who had worked for a bank.  He told me that
certain reports were legally required on certain dates.  Failure
to meet a production window would not avoid a penalty.

To avoid the risk, he read the report date from a control record rather
than using the system date facility.  The readers never knew.
