Compass variation and IRS systems.

I have recently been told from a normally reliable source that the data which produces a magnetic heading from the true heading produced by the IRS system is "hard wired" into the system at the time of manufacture. If this is the case, then as time passes and variation changes, moderate to large errors will obviously be introduced into the aircrafts heading. Does anyone have information about the source of variation information in an IRS system?
