PRICE WATERHOUSE as FEC employer text: $7.0 million
FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault assign $6,975,521 to the employer string PRICE WATERHOUSE. The cluster is 17,105 contributions from 608 donors. That text is a pre-merger firm name as typed on itemized individual receipts, not a NAICS accounting-industry total, not PricewaterhouseCoopers as a current legal entity, and not a firm PAC. COOPERS & LYBRAND, DELOITTE, KPMG LLP, and ERNST & YOUNG remain sibling keys.
Key figures
- PRICE WATERHOUSE as FEC employer text totals $6,975,521 from 608 donors.
- 17,105 contribution lines sit under that legacy firm string.
- COOPERS & LYBRAND, DELOITTE, and KPMG LLP are separate FEC keys.
- The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or successor PAC total.
The other half of a merger, still stored separately
COOPERS & LYBRAND and PRICE WATERHOUSE both survive as FEC employer keys. LobbyVault does not merge them because filers still type each string. The $6,975,521 total is itemized individual gifts whose employer field grouped to PRICE WATERHOUSE. It is not PwC’s current PAC and not a combined Coopers-plus-Price Waterhouse recode.
People who typed PWC, PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS, COOPERS & LYBRAND, DELOITTE, or ACCOUNTANT without a firm sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode merger history into one Big Four key.
PRICE WATERHOUSE as two words is the stored key. Hyphenated or concatenated successor spellings are other keys if present. LobbyVault does not apply corporate-history logic to employer text.
608 donors and 17,105 receipts
608 unique donors produced 17,105 PRICE WATERHOUSE contribution lines totaling $6,975,521. That is on the order of 28 itemized receipts per donor. COOPERS & LYBRAND remains a sibling legacy-name key with its own page. The packet does not publish a mean gift or an active-versus-retired split.
Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and committee PAC filings in a successor firm’s name are outside the $6,975,521 unless the individual receipt itself lists PRICE WATERHOUSE. Unitemized gifts never appear.
608 unique donors produced 17,105 lines totaling $6,975,521. That is the entire factual payload for this string. Cycle splits and office splits are not on the industry headline.
Deloitte, KPMG, and credential rows
DELOITTE, DELOITTE TOUCHE, KPMG LLP, ERNST & YOUNG, and ACCOUNTANT are separate strings. Combining them with PRICE WATERHOUSE would mix distinct FEC fields. This page reports $6,975,521 for PRICE WATERHOUSE only.
Occupation pages show titles stored beside the firm. CPA and ACCOUNTANT also exist as industry keys when donors put the credential in the employer box.
Donor table
The PRICE WATERHOUSE donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach an audit client, an SEC matter, or a motive to that line. Alumni who still type the pre-merger name share the string with anyone whose receipt carried the same letters. The FEC field is not a partnership directory.
Repeat names are expected among 17,105 lines from 608 people. Follow committees on the table for party and office. This page does not assign a partisan percentage to the legacy firm string.
PRICE WATERHOUSE rows on the donor table are not a PwC current-staff list. Alumni and anyone who copied old letterhead share the $6,975,521 grouping with 608 unique donors. If a receipt later said COOPERS & LYBRAND, that line belongs on the Coopers page. This table stays on PRICE WATERHOUSE only.

Do not add Coopers to reach a PwC number
PRICE WATERHOUSE’s $6,975,521 from 608 donors and 17,105 lines is the pre-merger spelling as stored. COOPERS & LYBRAND is a sibling legacy key with its own overlay. Adding the two without documenting a recode would mix FEC fields. PWC and PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS, if stored, are still other strings.
DELOITTE, DELOITTE TOUCHE, KPMG LLP, ERNST & YOUNG, ACCOUNTANT, and CPA stay outside this total. Successor committee PAC filings and unitemized gifts stay out unless an individual receipt lists PRICE WATERHOUSE.
