PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS money in federal elections

Spelled-out closed-up name versus PWC

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS is one word as stored on individual receipts. The $3,938,710 total is those itemized gifts. It is not PricewaterhouseCoopers’s global revenue, not consulting-contract value, and not the PWC abbreviation overlay.

People who typed PWC, PRICE WATERHOUSE as two words, PWC LLP, or ACCOUNTANT without the firm sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not collapse those spellings into this key. Researchers who want a combined PwC family must recode after export.

753 donors and 9,115 lines

753 unique donors produced 9,115 PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS contribution lines totaling $3,938,710. That is on the order of 12 itemized receipts per donor and a mean gift near $432. Mean per donor is about $5,231. The packet does not publish an audit-versus-consulting split.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and the firm’s committee PAC filings are outside the $3,938,710 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear.

PWC and other Big Four strings stay separate

PWC, PRICE WATERHOUSE, DELOITTE, KPMG LLP, and GRANT THORNTON LLP are separate employer-name keys. Combining them with PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS would mix distinct FEC fields. This page reports $3,938,710 for the closed-up spelled-out name only.

Occupation pages show titles stored beside the firm. ACCOUNTANT, CPA, and CONSULTANT exist as industry keys when donors put the credential or function in the employer box instead of PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS.

Donor table

The PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach a client engagement, an audit opinion, or a motive to that line. Alumni who still type the closed-up name share the string with current staff. The FEC field is not an HR file.

Repeat names are expected among 9,115 lines from 753 people. Follow committees on the table for party and office. This page does not assign a partisan percentage to the firm string.

Closed-up PricewaterhouseCoopers versus three-letter PWC

PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS and PWC are two keys on purpose. Filers used both. LobbyVault does not pick a canonical legal name. The $3.9M total is only the spelled-out string’s 9,115 lines from 753 donors. Adding the abbreviation without an explicit recode would mix fields the FEC stored separately.

Keep PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS’s $3,938,710, 9,115 contributions, and 753 donors on this closed-up string. GRANT THORNTON LLP, DELOITTE, and KPMG LLP stay on their own pages. Unitemized gifts and firm PAC documents remain omitted. Cite FEC.gov via LobbyVault, not a NAICS accounting total.

Read $3,938,710 as the closed-up PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS cluster only. The 9,115 contributions and 753 donors are matching-text counts on FEC.gov via LobbyVault. About 12 gifts per person, a mean gift near $432, and about $5,231 per donor are packet arithmetic. Unitemized gifts and firm PAC filings sit outside the $3.9M unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. PWC, PRICE WATERHOUSE, DELOITTE, KPMG LLP, and GRANT THORNTON LLP remain other keys. Occupation breakdowns list ACCOUNTANT, CPA, and CONSULTANT titles when those words filled the employer box. The donor table lists disclosed names and committees without attaching a client engagement.

Filers used PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS and PWC on purpose. LobbyVault does not pick a canonical accounting-firm name. Researchers who want a combined PwC family must recode after export. This page does not treat $3,938,710 as global revenue or as a NAICS accounting total. State filings are omitted. Cite FEC.gov via LobbyVault.
