Depending on the country you are applying in. In the generation that we are in, people recommend those with professional certificates instead of MBA. Therefore, in my opinion, I would say that CMA is more useful as CPA uses US GAAP and in the country that I am in (Bahrain), we follow IFRS standards.

It depends upon the use of each one, the speciality in your work.

CPA for those focused on public Accounting & Audit Firms.

CMA for those focused in management Accounting & business .

MBA is a master academic Degree rather than professional accounting designation ( you may obtain your MBA with concentration in accounting ).

CPA ( Professional Designation )

CMA ( Professional Designation ) 

MBA ( Academic Degree )

MBA is always a good and well-recognized title in any industry since it gives the person who studied it an excellent knowledge in running a business professionally
