Any company can install a reporting agent on their desktops and that will collect basic information like what .exe files have been executed.
Once a portable app shows up in the reports you are simply fired by blatant disregard for the rules and procedures you agreed to when signing your contract.
Finance is a heavily regulated environment and you can't get away with things that would be excusable in other places.

That seems to be a rather extreme clause; I doubt that a bank would care if a developer installed something that was not whitelisted. It would be a different story if the developer linked against code whose source was not easily attributable.
Hence the popularity of portable apps which don't use installers. The just unzip to any folder and run.
