Dear Tariq
As per directory of ICMAP published in May,2007 there were around 3000 qualified CMA's of which around 500 were working abroad. When this fact came in my knowledge, it was too surprising for me that almost 17% CMA's were working abroad. I was not expecting that such huge number of CMA's working abroad. Some CMA's are working in international audit firms. So CMA's of Pakistan are also able to obtain good jobs in abroad and proving themselves as competitor of foreign qualified accountants. As Mr. Kamran has mentioned that 941 CA's are working abroad or around 22% so the proportion between CMA's and CA's working abroad is nearly the same (or there is not a huge gap). I don't have the current status of number of members of ICMAP and members serving abroad at present..
