A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Municipal Bond Opportunity Fund, covering the 12-month period from May 1, 2014, through April 30, 2015. For information about how the fund performed during the reporting period, as well as general market perspectives, we provide a Discussion of Fund Performance on the pages that follow.

Municipal bonds gained a degree of value over the reporting period despite a sustained domestic economic recovery. Developments in overseas markets — including plummeting oil prices and ongoing economic concerns in Europe, Japan, and China —sparked a flight to quality among global investors, who turned away from foreign sovereign bonds in favor of U.S. assets. In addition, aggressively accommodative monetary policies in Europe and Japan made yields of U.S. fixed-income securities relatively attractive. Consequently, intensifying demand put downward pressure on U.S. bond yields, including municipal bonds, over much of the reporting period. This trend reversed in early 2015 when investors began to anticipate higher short-term interest rates in the United States, but long-term bond yields soon moderated amid reports of weaker-than-expected U.S. GDP growth for the first quarter of the year.

We remain optimistic regarding the long-term outlook for the U.S. economy generally and municipal bonds in particular. Labor markets have continued to strengthen, oil prices are stabilizing, and foreign currency exchange rates have become less volatile. Meanwhile, credit conditions have continued to improve for most states and municipalities, and demand remains strong from investors seeking tax-advantaged investment income.As always, we urge you to discuss these observations with your financial advisor, who can help you assess their implications for your investment portfolio.

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

Sincerely,

J. Charles Cardona
President
The Dreyfus Corporation

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

For the period of May 1, 2014 through April 30, 2015, as provided by Daniel Rabasco and Jeffrey Burger, Portfolio Managers

Fund and Market Performance Overview

For the 12-month period ended April 30, 2015, Dreyfus Municipal Bond Opportunity Fund’s Class A shares produced a total return of 5.94%, Class C shares returned 5.11%, and Class Z shares returned 6.00%.¹In comparison, the Barclays Municipal Bond Index, the fund’s benchmark index, achieved a total return of 4.80% for the same period.²

Municipal bonds generally rallied over the reporting period as long-term interest rates continued to fall.The fund produced higher returns than its benchmark due to favorable results from its interest-rate and security selection strategies.

The Fund’s Investment Approach

The fund seeks to maximize current income exempt from federal income tax to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital. To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests substantially all of its assets in municipal bonds that provide income exempt from federal income tax.The fund invests at least 70% of its assets in investment-grade municipal bonds or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus. For additional yield, the fund may invest up to 30% of its assets in municipal bonds rated below investment grade or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus. The dollar-weighted average maturity of the fund’s portfolio normally exceeds 10 years, but the fund may invest without regard to maturity.

In managing the fund, we focus on identifying undervalued sectors and securities, and we minimize the use of interest-rate forecasting. We select municipal bonds using fundamental credit analysis to estimate the relative value of various sectors and securities, and to exploit pricing inefficiencies in the municipal bond market. In addition, we trade among the market’s various sectors — such as the pre-refunded, general obligation, and revenue sectors — based on their apparent relative values. The fund generally will invest simultaneously in several of these sectors.

The Fund 3

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

Falling Long-Term Rates Supported Bond Prices

A sustained-but-uneven U.S. economic recovery persisted throughout the reporting period, yet long-term interest rates generally fell, defying expectations that an expanding domestic economy would drive bond yields higher. Global investors seeking more competitive yields from sovereign bonds than were available in Europe and Japan flocked to higher yielding investments in the United States, and the resulting supply-and-demand imbalance put downward pressure on yields of U.S. fixed-income securities. However, this trend began to reverse late in the reporting period, when longer term interest rates drifted higher amid stronger-than-expected employment data and expectations of short-term rate hikes later this year.

Municipal bonds continued to benefit from favorable supply-and-demand dynamics during the reporting period due to robust demand from individual investors seeking competitive levels of tax-exempt income. More robust issuance volumes over the opening months of 2015, which stemmed mainly from refinancing activity, generally were readily absorbed by steady demand from investors in search of competitive after-tax yields.

The sustained U.S. economic rebound resulted in better underlying credit conditions for most municipal bond issuers.Tax revenues have climbed beyond pre-recession levels for many state and local governments, enabling them to achieve balanced budgets and replenish reserves.

Interest Rate and Selection Strategies Boosted Returns

Compared to its benchmark, the fund’s modestly long average duration more fully captured the benefits of falling long-term interest rates and narrowing yield differences along the market’s maturity spectrum over the reporting period. Our security selection strategy also proved effective, including overweighted exposure to BBB-rated revenue-backed bonds and an underweighted position in lower yielding general obligation and escrowed bonds.The fund achieved especially strong results from revenue bonds backed by hospitals, industrial development projects, and the states’ settlement of litigation with U.S. tobacco companies.

On the other hand, laggards for the reporting period included higher quality revenue bonds from education providers, special tax districts, and electricity producers.

Early in the reporting period, we reduced the fund’s holdings of Puerto Rico bonds which had dampened relative results and reallocated the proceeds to better performing securities.

A Bias toward Higher Yielding Securities

We remain optimistic regarding the prospects for municipal bonds. The U.S. economic recovery has gained traction, and credit conditions generally have continued to improve. Although the recent supply of newly issued municipal bonds has increased significantly, we expect robust investor demand to continue to absorb additional issuance. Finally, we anticipate that the Federal Reserve Board will begin to raise short-term interest rates sometime during the second half of 2015. While we expect market volatility to increase, we note that inflation has remained subdued and tax-exempt bonds historically have tended to be less sensitive than U.S.Treasury securities to rising interest rates. Therefore, the fund’s interest-rate positioning was modestly longer than that of the benchmark index as we continued to take advantage of the income offered by longer maturities on the steep municipal yield curve. We have also retained our focus on longer term revenue bonds that exhibit both strong income characteristics and the potential for price appreciation.

May 15, 2015

Bond funds are subject generally to interest rate, credit, liquidity, and market risks, to varying degrees, all of which are more fully described in the fund’s prospectus. Generally, all other factors being equal, bond prices are inversely related to interest-rate changes, and rate increases can cause price declines.

The amount of public information available about municipal bonds is generally less than that for corporate equities or bonds. Special factors, such as legislative changes, and state and local economic and business developments, may adversely affect the yield and/or value of the fund’s investments in municipal bonds. Other factors include the general conditions of the municipal bond market, the size of the particular offering, the maturity of the obligation, and the rating of the issue. Changes in economic, business, or political conditions relating to a particular municipal project, municipality, or state in which the fund invests may have an impact on the fund’s share price.

1 Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid, and does not take into consideration the
maximum initial sales charge in the case of Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charge imposed
on redemptions in the case of Class C shares. Had these charges been reflected, returns would have been lower. Class
Z is not subject to any initial or deferred sales charge. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Share price,
yield, and investment return fluctuate such that upon redemption, fund shares may be worth more or less than their
original cost. Income may be subject to state and local taxes, and some income may be subject to the federal alternative
minimum tax (AMT) for certain investors. Capital gains, if any, are taxable.
2 SOURCE: LIPPER INC.—Reflects reinvestment of dividends and, where applicable, capital gain distributions.
The Barclays Municipal Bond Index is a widely accepted, unmanaged total return performance benchmark for the
long-term, investment-grade, tax-exempt bond market. Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses associated with
operating a mutual fund. Investors cannot invest directly in any index.

Comparison of change in value of $10,000 investment in Dreyfus Municipal Bond Opportunity Fund Class A shares and Class C shares and the Barclays Municipal Bond Index

† Source: Lipper Inc.

Past performance is not predictive of future performance.

The above graph compares a $10,000 investment made in each of the Class A and Class C shares of Dreyfus Municipal Bond Opportunity Fund on 4/30/05 to a $10,000 investment made in the Barclays Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”) on that date. All dividends and capital gain distributions are reinvested.

The fund invests primarily in municipal securities and its performance shown in the line graph above takes into account the maximum initial sales charge on Class A shares and all other applicable fees and expenses for Class A and Class C shares. Performance for Class Z shares will vary from the performance of Class A and Class C shares shown above due to differences in charges and expenses.The Index, unlike the fund, is an unmanaged total return performance benchmark for the long-term, investment-grade, tax-exempt bond market, calculated by using municipal bonds selected to be representative of the municipal market overall.These factors can contribute to the Index potentially outperforming or underperforming the fund. Unlike a mutual fund, the Index is not subject to charges, fees and other expenses. Investors cannot invest directly in any index. Further information relating to fund performance, including expense reimbursements, if applicable, is contained in the Financial Highlights section of the prospectus and elsewhere in this report.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus Municipal Bond Opportunity Fund (the “fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a diversified open-end management investment company.The fund’s investment objective is to maximize current income exempt from federal income tax to the extent consistent with the preservation of cap-ital.The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser.

MBSC Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dreyfus, is the distributor of the fund’s shares. The fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of $.001 par value shares of Beneficial Interest in each of the following classes of shares: Class A, Class C and Class Z. Class A shares generally are subject to a sales charge imposed at the time of purchase. Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) imposed on Class C shares redeemed within one year of purchase. Class Z shares are sold at net asset value per share generally only to shareholders of the fund. Class Z shares generally are not available for new accounts. Other differences between the classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class, the allocation of certain transfer agency costs, and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of

management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown.The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.

(a) Portfolio valuation: The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

Additionally, GAAP provides guidance on determining whether the volume and activity in a market has decreased significantly and whether such a decrease in activity results in transactions that are not orderly. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures around valuation inputs and techniques used during annual and interim periods.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the fund’s investments relating to fair value measurements. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The Fund 31

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Valuation techniques used to value the fund’s investments are as follows:

Investments in securities are valued each business day by an independent pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the judgment of the Service are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by the Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by the Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities). Other investments (which constitute a majority of the portfolio securities) are carried at fair value as determined by the Service, based on methods which include consideration of the following: yields or prices of municipal securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. All of the preceding securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Service’s procedures are reviewed by Dreyfus under the general supervision of the Board.

When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect accurately fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, but before the fund calculates its net asset value, the fund may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board. Certain factors may be considered when fair valuing investments such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers.These securities are either categorized

within Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the relevant inputs used.

For restricted securities where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are generally categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of April 30, 2015 in valuing the fund’s investments:


		Level 2—Other		Level 3—
	Level 1—	Significant		Significant
	Unadjusted	Observable		Unobservable
	Quoted Prices	Inputs		Inputs	Total

Liabilities ($)
Floating Rate Notes^††	—	(4,845,000	)	—	(4,845,000	)

† See Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations.
Certain of the fund’s liabilities are held at carrying amount, which approximates fair value for
financial reporting purposes.

At April 30, 2015, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following is a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual basis. Securities purchased or sold on a when issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date.

(c) Dividends to shareholders: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends daily from investment income-net. Such dividends are paid monthly. Dividends from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).To the extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gains. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

(d) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, which can distribute tax-exempt dividends, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of income and net realized capital gain sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

As of and during the period ended April 30, 2015, the fund did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions.The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period ended April 30, 2015, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each tax year in the four-year period ended April 30, 2015 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

At April 30, 2015, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were follows: undistributed tax-exempt income $529,266, accumulated capital losses $32,336,321 and unrealized appreciation $37,624,533.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “2010 Act”), the fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 (“post-enactment losses”) for an unlimited period. Furthermore, post-enactment capital loss carryovers retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than short-term as they were under previous statute.The 2010 Act requires post-enactment losses to be utilized before the utilization of losses incurred in taxable years prior to the effective date of the 2010 Act (“pre-enactment losses”).As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment losses may be more likely to expire unused.

The accumulated capital loss carryover is available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net realized capital gains, if any realized subsequent to April 30, 2015. If not applied, $5,368,748 of the carryover expires in fiscal year 2017, $20,082,904 expires in fiscal year 2018 and $3,894,374 expires in fiscal year 2019.The fund has $1,942,940 of post-enactment short-term capital losses and $1,047,355 of post-enactment long-term capital losses which can be carried forward for an unlimited period.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended April 30, 2015 and April 30, 2014 were as follows: tax-exempt income $14,214,369 and $15,922,926, and ordinary income $20,224 and $165,376, respectively.

During the period ended April 30, 2015, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment for amortization adjustments and dividend reclassification, the fund decreased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $80,831, increased accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments by $55,774 and increased paid-in capital by $25,057. Net assets and net asset value per share were not affected by this reclassification.

The Fund 35

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

NOTE 2—Bank Lines of Credit:

The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $430 million unsecured credit facility led by Citibank, N.A. and a $300 million unsecured credit facility provided by The Bank of New York Mellon, a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of Dreyfus (each, a “Facility”), each to be utilized primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. Prior to October 8, 2014, the unsecured credit facility with Citibank, N.A. was $265 million. In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay its pro rata portion of commitment fees for each Facility. Interest is charged to the fund based on rates determined pursuant to the terms of the respective Facility at the time of borrowing. During the period ended April 30, 2015, the fund did not borrow under the Facilities.

NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement with Dreyfus, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .55% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly.

During the period ended April 30, 2015, the Distributor retained $3,807 from commissions earned on sales of the fund’s Class A shares and $5,022 from CDSCs on redemptions of the fund’s Class C shares.

(b) Under the Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, Class C shares pay the Distributor for distributing its shares at an annual rate of .75% of the value of its average daily net assets. During the period ended April 30, 2015, Class C shares were charged $64,745, pursuant to the Distribution Plan.

(c) Under the Shareholder Services Plan, Class A and Class C shares pay the Distributor at an annual rate of .25% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class A and Class C shares and Class Z shares pay the Distributor at an annual rate of .20% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class Z shares for the provision of certain services. The services provided may include personal services relating to

shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding the fund and providing reports and other information, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Distributor may make payments to Service Agents (securities dealers, financial institutions or other industry professionals) with respect to these services. The Distributor determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents. During the period ended April 30, 2015, Class A, Class C and Class Z shares were charged $483,830, $21,582 and $440,219, respectively, pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.

The fund has arrangements with the transfer agent and the custodian whereby the fund may receive earnings credits when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset transfer agency and custody fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.

The fund compensates Dreyfus Transfer, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dreyfus, under a transfer agency agreement for providing transfer agency and cash management services for the fund. The majority of transfer agency fees are comprised of amounts paid on a per account basis, while cash management fees are related to fund subscriptions and redemptions. During the period ended April 30, 2015, the fund was charged $129,893 for transfer agency services and $5,879 for cash management services. These fees are included in Shareholder servicing costs in the Statement of Operations. Cash management fees were partially offset by earnings credits of $258.

The fund compensates The Bank of New York Mellon under a custody agreement for providing custodial services for the fund. These fees are determined based on net assets, geographic region and transaction activity. During the period ended April 30, 2015, the fund was charged $35,371 pursuant to the custody agreement.

The fund compensates The Bank of NewYork Mellon for performing certain cash management services related to fund subscriptions and redemptions, including shareholder redemption draft processing, under

The Fund 37

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

a cash management agreement. During the period ended April 30, 2015, the fund was charged $4,437 pursuant to the agreement, which is included in Shareholder servicing costs in the Statement of Operations.

During the period ended April 30, 2015, the fund was charged $10,103 for services performed by the Chief Compliance Officer and his staff.

The components of “Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $187,550, Distribution Plan fees $5,326, Shareholder Services Plan fees $76,301, custodian fees $12,401, Chief Compliance Officer fees $3,682 and transfer agency fees $24,360.

(d) Each Board member also serves as a Board member of other funds within the Dreyfus complex. Annual retainer fees and attendance fees are allocated to each fund based on net assets.

NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:

The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, during the period ended April 30, 2015, amounted to $67,230,944 and $81,290,281, respectively.

Inverse Floater Securities: The fund participates in secondary inverse floater structures in which fixed-rate, tax-exempt municipal bonds are transferred to a trust (the “Trust”).The Trust typically issues two variable rate securities that are collateralized by the cash flows of the fixed-rate, tax-exempt municipal bonds. One of these variable rate securities pays interest based on a short-term floating rate set by a remarketing agent at predetermined intervals (“Trust Certificates”). A residual interest tax-exempt security is also created by the Trust, which is transferred to the fund, and is paid interest based on the remaining cash flows of the Trust, after payment of interest on the other securities and various expenses of the Trust. An inverse floater security may be collapsed without the consent of the fund due to certain termination events such as bankruptcy, default or other credit event.

The fund accounts for the transfer of bonds to the Trust as secured borrowings, with the securities transferred remaining in the fund’s investments, and the related floating rate certificate securities reflected as fund liabilities in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The fund may invest in inverse floater securities on either a non-recourse or recourse basis. These securities are typically supported by a liquidity facility provided by a bank or other financial institution (the “Liquidity Provider”) that allows the holders of the Trust Certificates to tender their certificates in exchange for payment from the Liquidity Provider of par plus accrued interest on any business day prior to a termination event. When the fund invests in inverse floater securities on a non-recourse basis, the Liquidity Provider is required to make a payment under the liquidity facility due to a termination event to the holders of the Trust Certificates. When this occurs, the Liquidity Provider typically liquidates all or a portion of the municipal securities held in the Trust. A liquidation shortfall occurs if the Trust Certificates exceed the proceeds of the sale of the bonds in the Trust (“Liquidation Shortfall”). When a fund invests in inverse floater securities on a recourse basis, the fund typically enters into a reimbursement agreement with the Liquidity Provider where the fund is required to repay the Liquidity Provider the amount of any Liquidation Shortfall. As a result, a fund investing in a recourse inverse floater security bears the risk of loss with respect to any Liquidation Shortfall.

The average amount of borrowings outstanding under the inverse floater structure during the period ended April 30, 2015 was approximately $4,845,000, with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of .74%.

At April 30, 2015, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $367,677,023; accordingly, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $37,624,533, consisting of $38,311,897 gross unrealized appreciation and $687,364 gross unrealized depreciation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Shareholders and Board of Trustees Dreyfus Municipal Bond Opportunity Fund

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Dreyfus Municipal Bond Opportunity Fund, including the statement of investments, as of April 30, 2015, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended.These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights 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 and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2015 by correspondence with the custodian and others. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dreyfus Municipal Bond Opportunity Fund at April 30, 2015, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The pre-approved services in the Policy can include pre-approved audit services, pre-approved audit-related services, pre-approved tax services and pre-approved all other services.
