Notes: A material weakness indicates that a state's internal controls are sufficiently deficient that material noncompliance with federal program requirements may not be prevented, detected, or corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency indicates a control deficiency that, while less severe, is serious enough to warrant attention from those responsible for program governance.
