ARTHUR ANDERSEN CO
Filers who listed ARTHUR ANDERSEN & CO as employer or occupation on federal reports account for $3.5M ($3,525,257) in itemized receipts on FEC.gov. The cluster holds 9,695 contributions and 485 donors. The string is a historic partnership stamp — ampersand plus CO — on FEC forms. LobbyVault still ranks it because the filings exist; the label is not a NAICS accounting code, not a statement about the firm’s present legal status, and not ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP as a sibling suffix.
Key figures
- ARTHUR ANDERSEN & CO as FEC employer text totals $3.5M ($3,525,257) from 485 donors.
- 9,695 contribution lines sit under that historic & CO partnership stamp.
- ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP and ACCENTURE are separate FEC keys.
- The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or a present-tense legal claim.
A legacy & CO stamp at $3,525,257
Four hundred eighty-five donors produced 9,695 contributions, about 20 itemized gifts per person. Mean gift size is about $364; mean per donor is about $7,269. FEC aggregates that span many cycles retain employer text as originally filed. People who listed ARTHUR ANDERSEN & CO in older cycles remain in this cluster even if they later listed a successor firm. The packet does not split dollars by year, so this guide does not assign $3,525,257 to a single decade.
Top employer matches ARTHUR ANDERSEN & CO. ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP, ARTHUR ANDERSEN without a suffix, ANDERSEN, and ACCENTURE can exist as other keys. They are not inside $3,525,257 unless they grouped to ARTHUR ANDERSEN & CO. LobbyVault does not recode LLP into this & CO stamp.
485 donors and 9,695 lines
9,695 lines from 485 people is a moderate receipt pattern. Repeat gifts raise the contribution count without raising unique donors. The packet does not publish a partner-versus-staff split, an audit-versus-consulting cut, or a cycle year. Coverage is itemized federal individual receipts only.
Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and any historic committee PAC filings are outside the $3,525,257 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear.

Questions
- How much have ARTHUR ANDERSEN & CO-listed donors given federally?
- LobbyVault attributes $3,525,257 to the ARTHUR ANDERSEN & CO employer string, from 9,695 contributions and 485 donors. These are itemized individual receipts on FEC.gov, not a firm PAC and not a NAICS accounting total. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
- Is ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP included?
- Only if those receipts grouped to ARTHUR ANDERSEN & CO. ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP is a separate grouped key if filers used that suffix. The $3.5M total is receipts whose employer text grouped to ARTHUR ANDERSEN & CO. LobbyVault does not merge LLP into this & CO row. Unitemized gifts are omitted.
- Does this total mean the firm still operates?
- No. The FEC field stores employer text as filed. Historic stamps remain in aggregates because the receipts exist. This page reports $3,525,257 for matching text, not a present-tense legal-status claim. Unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted. Cite FEC.gov via LobbyVault.
- How many unique donors listed ARTHUR ANDERSEN & CO?
- The rollup counts 485 donors and 9,695 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not a partnership headcount. Figures are limited to the FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
Industry labels come from FEC employer/occupation self-reports, not NAICS. Data from FEC.gov via LobbyVault.
