CPA

CPA as stored text, 2010 as cycle

Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — CPA and 2010 — sum to $1,188,667. 1,196 itemized contributions and 448 unique donors produced it. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables.

Neither the CPA hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. CPA is a self-reported title, not a state-board licensee file and not an AICPA membership roll. 448 donors and 1,196 lines in 2010 matched that word. ACCOUNTANT, CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT, ACCOUNTING, and named firms such as KPMG or PwC sit in other keys. This page is the stored string CPA.

LobbyVault keeps this two-key page so a reader can open CPA 2010 without treating the industry hub as a cycle total or the 2010 cycle hub as an employer total. The overlay at the CPA 2010 path holds the itemized rows for this cell. This prose publishes the packet snapshot: $1,188,667, 1,196 contributions, 448 donors, and 1.5% of $77,953,344.

1.5% of the CPA roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $77,953,344. The 2010 slice of $1,188,667 is about 1.5% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 98.5% ($76,764,677). Treating 2010 as the CPA FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $77,953,344 as the denominator for the 1.5% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2010 from being folded silently into $77,953,344.

A 1.5% cell can sit next to larger or smaller even-year windows on the same CPA hub. This packet does not publish those other cycle dollars, so they are not cited here. Open CPA to drop the year filter. Open the 2010 election cycle to drop the employer filter.

Questions

How much did CPA donors give in 2010?

FEC.gov aggregates show $1,188,667 in itemized individual contributions for the CPA grouping in the 2010 cycle, across 1,196 contributions and 448 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $77,953,344 all-cycle figure.

What share of CPA FEC money is 2010?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $77,953,344. The 2010 cell of $1,188,667 is about 1.5% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 98.5% ($76,764,677) on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the CPA hub holds other cycles; the 2010 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Does this include only licensed or currently employed CPA donors?

No. The bucket is the self-reported string CPA. The FEC does not verify licenses or current jobs. Related phrases may sit in other groupings. This join reports the string match for 2010 only, totaling $1,188,667 from 448 donors.

Where is the overlay for the CPA 2010 join?

Open CPA 2010 for the cycle overlay, CPA for the grouping hub, and the 2010 election cycle for the year without this employer filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON file names the join; the overlay holds the itemized rows.
