APRIL 30, 2014 FILING
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees
Dreyfus Municipal Bond Opportunity Fund
We have examined management's assertion, included
in the accompanying Management Statement Regarding
Compliance with Certain Provisions of the Investment
Company Act of 1940 that
Dreyfus Municipal Bond Opportunity Fund
(the "Company")
complied with the requirements of
subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 ("the Act") as of April 30, 2014.
Management is responsible for the Company's compliance
with those requirements. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on management's assertion about the Company's
compliance based on our examination.
Our examination was conducted in accordance with the
standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included
examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company's
compliance with those requirements and performing such
other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances. Included among our procedures were the
following tests performed as of April 30, 2014,
and with respect to agreement of security and similar
investment purchases and sales, for the period from
August 31, 2013 (the date of our last examination) through
April 30, 2014:
Count and inspection of all securities and similar
investments located in the vault of The Bank of New York
Mellon in New York and London, if any, without prior notice
to management;
Confirmation of all securities and similar investments
held by institutions in book entry form (i.e., the Federal
Reserve Bank of Boston, the Depository Trust Company
and various sub-custodians);
Reconciliation of all such securities and similar investments
to the books and records of the Company and
The Bank of New York Mellon;
Confirmation of all securities hypothecated, pledged, placed
in escrow, or out for transfer with brokers, pledgees, transfer
agents or securities lending administrators;
Confirmation of all repurchase agreements, if any, with
brokers/banks or to documentation of corresponding subsequent
cash receipts and agreement of underlying collateral with
The Bank of New York Mellon's records;
Agreement of pending purchase activity as of April 30, 2014
to documentation of subsequent broker statements;
Agreement of 5 purchases and 5 security sales
or maturities since our last report from the books
and records of the Dreyfus Funds to corresponding
trade tickets or broker confirmations;
We believe that our examination provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide
a legal determination on the Company's compliance with
specified requirements.
In our opinion, management's assertion that
Dreyfus Municipal Bond Opportunity Fund
complied with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of
Rule 17f-2 of the Act as of April 30, 2014
with respect to securities and similar
investments reflected in the investment account of the
Company is fairly stated, in all material respects.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of
management and the Board of Trustees of
Dreyfus Municipal Bond Opportunity Fund
and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not
intended to be and should not be
used by anyone other than these specified parties.
