Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
CA, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CA, Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2007 and 2006,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-
year period ended March 31, 2007. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also audited the
consolidated financial statement schedule listed in Item 15(c). These consolidated financial statements and financial
statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these consolidated financial statements and financial statement 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of CA, Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2007, 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 consolidated
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),
the effectiveness of CA, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2007, based on criteria established in
Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO), and our report dated May 30, 2007, expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of, and the
effective operation of, internal control over financial reporting.
