We have discussed CAP's financial information here before.
Pathologyblawg has posted with their financial information for 2013.
Here is my comment from over there.
If you believe CAP is an organization that you can trust to advocate on your behalf, I would not be so certain.

CAPE
(College of American Pathologist Employers)
CAP cannot continue to masquerade as an organization that advocates in the interests of individual pathologists. The organization's revenue generated from LIP and accreditation are 45x the revenue from member dues.
If you wonder why CAP continues to call for expansion of GME pathology positions despite a horrific job market and inability to fill programs with American medical graduates, I think the revenue numbers are revealing (even moreso if you think the dire warnings about the so-called 'retirement cliff' are complete bunk). CAP's position is in support of the large laboratories and pathologist employers who have a vested interest in maintaining an expanded supply of pathologists to drive labor costs and bargaining power down. Their advocacy is directly opposed to the interests of individual pathologists who are directly at risk of decreased wages in the face of commodity work output by foreign medical graduates willing to accept down-market wages.
It is quite apparent that the C-suite executives running CAP with grossly inflated salaries know that pathologist employers are the ones paying the LIP/accreditation bill.
If you believe CAP is an organization that you can trust to advocate on your behalf, I would not be so certain.
