When an auditor identifies a deficiency in a client's internal controls, the auditor should assess the magnitude and likelihood of a material misstatement resulting from the internal control's failure.  If the likelihood of a material misstatement is remote, the auditor need not do anything.  If the likelihood of a material misstatement is reasonably possible or probable, however, the auditor must determine the potential magnitude of such a material misstatement.

If the magnitude would be material, this constitutes a material weakness.  The auditor must report this in the financial statements, to the audit committee, and to the company's management.

If the magnitude is not material, but significant, this constitutes a significant deficiency.  The auditor must report this to the audit committee and the company's management.

If the magnitude is neither material nor significant, this is simply called a control deficiency.  The auditor must report it to the company's management.—
