REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the
Board of Directors of Cardinal Health, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cardinal Health, Inc. and subsidiaries (the
“Company”) as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, shareholders’
equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2009. 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 the 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 the Company as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the consolidated results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2009, in conformity with the 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.
As discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted Financial Accounting
Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” as of July 1, 2007.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009, based on criteria
established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of
the Treadway Commission and our report dated August 27, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
