2016 Form 10-K 109
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Autodesk, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Autodesk, Inc. as of January 31, 2016 and 2015, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended January 31, 2016. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at
Item 15(a)(2). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
position of Autodesk, Inc. at January 31, 2016 and 2015, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended January 31, 2016, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also,
in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States),
Autodesk, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control-
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and
our report dated March 23, 2016 expressed an adverse opinion thereon.
