                Report of Independent Auditors

Administrative Committee
Computer Associates Savings Harvest Plan

We  have  audited the accompanying statements of net  assets
available  for  benefits  of  Computer  Associates   Savings
Harvest  Plan as of March 30, 1994 and 1993, and the related
statements  of changes in net assets available for  benefits
for the years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility  of the Plan's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.

We   conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally
accepted auditing standards. 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  net  assets
available  for  benefits of the Computer Associates  Savings
Harvest Plan at March 30, 1994 and 1993, and the changes  in
its  net  assets available for benefits for the  years  then
ended,  in  conformity  with generally  accepted  accounting
principles.

Our  audits were made for the purpose of forming an  opinion
on   the   financial  statements  taken  as  a  whole.   The
accompanying supplemental schedules 27a-schedule  of  assets
held  for  investment  purposes as of  March  30,  1994  and
27d-schedule of reportable transactions for the  year  ended
March 30, 1994, are presented for purposes of complying with
the   Department  of  Labor's  Rules  and  Regulations   for
Reporting  and  Disclosure  under  the  Employee  Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, and are not a required part  of
the  financial  statements. The supplemental schedules  have
been  subjected  to the auditing procedures applied  in  our
audit  of the 1994 financial statements and, in our opinion,
are  fairly  stated in all material respects in relation  to
the 1994 financial statements taken as a whole.

1. Description of the Plan

General

The following description of the Computer Associates Savings
Harvest Plan (the "Plan") provides only general information.
Participants should refer to the Plan document  for  a  more
complete description of the Plan's provisions.

The  Plan  is  a  defined  contribution  plan  covering  all
eligible  full-time employees. An employee  is  eligible  to
participate in the Plan in the month following completion of
one   full   year   of   service  to   Computer   Associates
International, Inc. (the "Company"). The Plan is subject  to
the  provisions  of the Employee Retirement Income  Security
Act of 1974 (ERISA).

On   March  31,  1993,  Fidelity  Management  Trust  Company
("Fidelity")  replaced Mellon Bank, N.A. ("Mellon")  as  the
trustee  of  the  Plan  and  all assets  of  the  Plan  were
subsequently transferred from Mellon to Fidelity in a series
of wire transfers as follows:

period  that  the assets were being transferred to  Fidelity
have been combined with Fidelity's activity and is reflected
in  the  Statement  of Changes in Net Assets  Available  for
Benefits  on a combined basis. All transfers of assets  from
Mellon to Fidelity were completed by June 1993.

During  the  Plan year ended March 30, 1993,  the  Plan  was
amended  on  one occasion as a result of the acquisition  of
the  Nantucket Corporation by the Company. The assets of the
Nantucket  Corporation  401(K)  Profit  Sharing  Plan   were
transferred into the Plan during 1993.

1. Description of the Plan (continued)

Contributions

During  each payroll period, Plan participants may elect  to
contribute  a percentage of their base compensation  ranging
from 2% to 15%. Each participant can change this election at
any time but not more than once every three months.

To   comply  with  the  Tax  Reform  Act  of  1986,  pre-tax
contributions  elected  by any participant  may  not  exceed
$8,994 and $8,728 for the calendar years ended December  31,
1993   and   1992,  respectively.  Commencing   July   1993,
participants may contribute on an after-tax basis as well.

The  Company  contributes to the  Plan  on  behalf  of  each
participant as a matching contribution, an amount  equal  to
50%  of  such participant's contribution up to a maximum  of
2.5%  of  the participant's base compensation. The  matching
contributions  for the years ended March 30, 1994  and  1993
were $3,747,023 and $3,472,825, respectively.

In  addition  to its matching contribution, the Company  may
contribute  to  the  Plan  in  respect  of  each   year,   a
discretionary contribution in an amount that  the  Board  of
Directors  of  the  Company may,  in  its  sole  discretion,
determine.  The discretionary contributions  for  the  years
ended   March  30,  1994  and  1993  were  $13,287,584   and
$13,689,784  (inclusive of $750,000  funded  by  accumulated
Plan  forfeitures  for  Plan year  1993)  respectively.  The
discretionary contribution is allocated to each  participant
generally  in  the  same ratio that the  participant's  base
compensation   for  the  Plan  year  bears   to   the   base
compensation  of all participants for such  Plan  year.  The
discretionary contribution for the year ended March 30, 1994
includes  447,453  common shares of the  Company  valued  at
$13,199,875.  The discretionary contribution  for  the  year
ended  March 30, 1993 includes 387,461 common shares of  the
Company valued at $8,717,873.

Participant Accounts

A separate account is established and maintained in the name
of  each  participant and reflects the participant's balance
invested therein. Such balance includes earnings and  losses
allocated  to  the  participants  accounts  based  upon  the
percentage  investment of the account balance to  the  total
fund balances.

1. Description of the Plan (continued)

Vesting

The  matching and discretionary contributions  made  by  the
Company on behalf of a participant vest as follow. With less
than three years of service, 0% is vested. The participant's
vested  percentage then increases to 20% after three  years,
40%  after  four years, 60% after five years, 80% after  six
years,  and 100% after seven years of service. In  addition,
100%  vesting  occurs upon death or total  disability  of  a
participant,  upon attainment of normal retirement  age,  or
upon termination of the Plan.

Investment Options

The  assets  of the Plan are invested by Fidelity  in  seven
separate funds:

 Fidelity  Intermediate Bond Fund which invests in high  and
 upper-medium    grade   fixed-income    obligations    with
 intermediate maturities.

 Fidelity  Puritan  Fund, which invests in  income-producing
 common stocks, preferred stocks, and bonds.
 
 Fidelity U.S. Equity Index Portfolio, which invests  mostly
 in  the common stock of the 500 companies that make up  the
 Standard & Poor's 500 Index.
 
 Fidelity  Magellan Fund, which invests in common stock  and
 securities convertible to common stock.
 
 Fidelity  Growth  and Income Portfolio,  which  invests  in
 common  stock,  securities  convertible  to  common  stock,
 preferred stock and fixed income securities.
 
 Computer  Associates Stock Fund, which is invested  in  the
 common  stock  of  a  single company,  Computer  Associates
 International, Inc.
 
 Fidelity  Retirement Money Market Portfolio, which  invests
 in  high-quality,  U.S.  dollar  denominated  money  market
 instruments.

Beginning  June  1993,  participants  may  redirect   future
contributions or transfer their current investment  balances
between funds on a daily basis in increments of 1%. Prior to
June   1993,  investment  elections  were  limited  to   20%
increments between funds and could not be changed more  than
once every three months.

1. Description of the Plan (continued)

Payment of Benefits

The   Plan  provides  for  benefit  distributions  to   Plan
participants  or their beneficiaries upon the  participant's
retirement,   termination  of  employment  or   death.   Any
participant  may  apply to withdraw all or part  of  his/her
vested   account   balance  subject  to  specific   hardship
withdrawal  provision criteria in the Plan and the  approval
of the Plan Administrative Committee.

Participant Loans Receivable

Any  participant may take a loan from his/her account  based
upon  certain provisions of the Plan being met. The rate  of
interest  on loans to participants shall be at a  reasonable
rate fixed at the time the loan is approved. Upon the death,
retirement  or termination of employment of the participant,
the  Plan may deduct the total unpaid balance or any portion
thereof  from  any  payment  or distribution  to  which  the
participant or his beneficiaries may be entitled.

Expense Allocation

To   the   extent  that  the  costs  of  recordkeeping   and
administration  of  the  funds  are  not  covered  by   Plan
forfeitures,  they  are  borne by  the  Plan  sponsor,  (the
Company).  Such  costs for Plan years  1994  and  1993  were
$230,083  and  $465,238, respectively, and were  covered  by
Plan forfeitures.

Plan Termination

Although  it  has not expressed any intent  to  do  so,  the
Company  has  the  right under the Plan to  discontinue  its
contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan  subject
to the provisions of ERISA.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Valuation of Investments

Investments in Fidelity funds and Computer Associates  stock
fund  are  stated at fair value based upon quoted prices  in
published sources.

The  fair value of participation units owned by the Plan  in
Mellon  Bank,  N.A.  funds were based on  quoted  redemption
value on the last business day of the Plan year.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

The  realized net gain or loss on sale of investments is the
difference  between the proceeds received  and  the  average
cost of investments sold. The unrealized net gain or loss is
the  difference  between the fair  value  and  the  cost  of
investments  for  each  year.  These  combined  amounts  are
included in the statement of changes in net assets available
for benefits.

3. Investments

The following investments represent 5% or more of the Plan's
net  assets at March 30, 1994, which are represented at fair
value as determined by quoted market prices.

4. Income Tax Status

The  Internal  Revenue  Service  has  ruled  that  the  Plan
qualifies under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue  Code
(the "Code"), and its related trust is therefore exempt from
Federal income tax under Section 501 of the Code. Subsequent
to  the  ruling,  the Plan has been amended to  comply  with
provisions  of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and the  tax  acts
thereafter. The Plan was restated in its entirety  effective
March  31,  1992.  The Company submitted  the  Plan  to  the
Internal   Revenue  Service  in  June  1994   for    a   tax
determination  letter. In the interim, the  Company  is  not
aware of any course of action or series of events that might
adversely affect the qualified status of the Plan.
