    Information technology (IT) serves a critical role in state operations. State agencies and higher education institutions are increasingly reliant on the automated processing of information. It is important that the IT applications that process information have controls to ensure and protect the accuracy, integrity, reliability, and confidentiality of the State’s information.
     Due to the increased reliance on IT applications, a significant portion of the audits the State Auditor’s Office (SAO) performs include an IT component. Auditors select IT controls for testing during an audit based on a risk assessment. The risk assessment considers, among other factors, the objectives and scope of the audit. Therefore, the SAO does not test all IT controls in every audit, with the high-risk and high-impact IT controls being tested more frequently. In addition, to minimize security risks, the SAO does not publicly report sensitive IT audit issues, in accordance with the Texas Government Code, Section 552.139.

False.

"Therefore" and "henceforth" have different meanings and cannot be used interchangeably.

"Therefore" is used to introduce a conclusion or a result derived from the previously mentioned information, indicating causality.

"Henceforth" is used to indicate that something will happen from this point onwards, referring to a point in time.

Replacing "therefore" with "henceforth" would change the meaning of the sentence.
