one of the functions of an IT auditor is to insure that the code is provable:
that means, you can read/understand the source code and recreate the run unit (recompile/relink....)

if you have a production module for which you have no source,
you have no audit trail.

One reason to generate source from executable is because there is sloppy (or no) configuration management / source control and the source was lost or destroyed.

Another is to steal code. . .
