The key concept in evaluating the effectiveness of ICOFR is material weakness. The PCAOB identifies three types of internal control problems (in increasing levels of severity): control deficiencies, significant deficiencies, and material weaknesses. Material weaknesses are the most severe ones because they indicate internal control problems that “result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected” (p. 149, PCAOB, Standard No.2, 2004). When one or more material weaknesses exist in the company's ICOFR, auditors are required to issue an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of ICOFR.
