I understand your point. They don't care, they call it end user computing and don't monitor or support it.
Internal audit have seen it so it is recorded. It is not using any personal info and is GDPR compliant.
The number of these systems and processes used by areas of the bank is frightening. I have worked at 3 banks - they are all the same.
I have even seen another department program their reports - not database reports but word docs based on findings - to be written by a macro changing sentences from a library and just inserting figures. For example: "The borrower owes £1m, repayable over 60 months and their credit score is 100%" and if the macro was run the next day it would read "The loan to the customer is £1,000,000 repayable over 5 years. The customer is fully credit covered" and the staff in the dept. do very little real analysis anymore. The reports are quite complex - and run to 20-30 pages depending on what is required but they are about 90% automatically created by end user macros and VBA.
