to a failure to complete income tax filings consistent with management's intentions, and due to errors in
accounting for income taxes, would not be prevented or detected.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Symantec Corporation and subsidiaries as of
March 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and
comprehensive income and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2006.
This material weakness was considered in determining the nature, timing and extent of audit tests applied in
our audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2006,
and this report does not affect our report dated June 8, 2006, which expressed an unqualified opinion on those
consolidated financial statements.
In our opinion, management's assessment that Symantec Corporation did not maintain effective internal
control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria
established in Internal Control Ì Integrated Framework issued by COSO. Also, in our opinion, because of the
material weakness described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, Symantec
Corporation has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2006, based
on the criteria established in Internal Control Ì Integrated Framework issued by COSO.
