Accenture and the 2012 FEC election cycle

Accenture as stored text, 2012 as cycle

Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — ACCENTURE and 2012 — sum to $544,984. 619 itemized contributions and 284 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. Cite FEC.gov for this intersection.

Neither the Accenture hub nor the 2012 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Accenture is professional-services employer text, not a verified payroll file. 284 donors and 619 lines in 2012 matched that stored string. People who typed a neighboring spelling sit in other buckets. Named affiliates and related titles are other keys. This page is the exact string ACCENTURE.

The join exists so a reader does not treat $5,479,548 (all cycles for this string) as the 2012 story, and does not treat the 2012 cycle hub as a Accenture-only list. Two filters, one cell: $544,984.

9.9% of the Accenture roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $5,479,548. The 2012 slice of $544,984 is about 9.9% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 90.1% ($4,934,564). Treating 2012 as the entire Accenture FEC story would ignore that remainder. The industry hub is the year index for this string.

Treat $5,479,548 as the denominator for the 9.9% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. This tie keeps 2012 from being folded silently into $5,479,548. Neighboring spellings are not added into either figure.

619 contributions from 284 donors

Dividing $544,984 by 619 contributions yields about $880 per itemized gift. Dividing by 284 donors yields about $1,919 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 2.2. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians and not a party split. FEC.gov itemized individual receipts are the universe.

284 unique donors are contributor identities, not a headcount of employees, licensees, or members. Retirees and household members who reuse a workplace or title can appear. Repeat gifts raise the contribution count faster than the donor count.

2012 as the cycle dimension

The 2012 election cycle hub includes every stored employer and occupation for that window. Accenture is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a cycle-wide denominator, so no national share is stated. Open the 2012 election cycle to drop the employer filter and Accenture to drop the year.

Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $544,984 cell because the cycle is a two-year tag, not a single Tuesday. That mechanical fact is easy to forget when a searcher wants an election-night number. The overlay is where dates become visible. This join publishes the cycle total, the 619 contributions, the 284 unique donors, and the 9.9% share of $5,479,548.

What the Commission does not verify

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $544,984. Federal awards in other databases are different datasets. Sharing an employer string and a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. The page is professional-services employer text, not Accenture PAC, Accenture LLP as a corporate treasury, or USAspending awards tagged to Accenture entities.

Accenture entities can appear in federal contracting files. USAspending obligations are not these campaign gifts. This join does not claim that $544,984 funded federal work, or that federal work funded the gifts. Two datasets can share a name without sharing a payment trail. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. Live hubs override this snapshot. If the overlay disagrees, the overlay and FEC.gov control.

Citing Accenture and 2012 together

Start with $544,984, then Accenture 2012 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2012 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: ACCENTURE, 2012, $544,984, 619 contributions, 284 donors, 9.9% of $5,479,548, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.

The 9.9% share, the 284-donor count, and the $880 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a successor label or a sibling employer word and they stop being facts from this packet. This prose is a packet snapshot. 619 itemized contributions totaling $544,984 average about $880 per line. Unitemized gifts never appear. Campaign contributions are not federal awards.

Questions

How much did Accenture donors give in 2012?

FEC.gov aggregates show $544,984 in itemized individual contributions for the Accenture grouping in the 2012 cycle, across 619 contributions and 284 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $5,479,548 all-cycle figure. Independent expenditures are not included.

What share of Accenture FEC money is 2012?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $5,479,548. The 2012 cell of $544,984 is about 9.9% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 90.1% ($4,934,564) on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell.

Does this include only currently employed Accenture donors?

No. The bucket is the self-reported string ACCENTURE. The FEC does not verify licenses, current jobs, or corporate identity. Related phrases may sit in other groupings. This join reports the string match for 2012 only, totaling $544,984 from 284 donors across 619 contributions.

Where is the overlay for the Accenture 2012 join?

Open Accenture 2012 for the cycle overlay, Accenture for the grouping hub, and the 2012 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. Cite FEC.gov for $544,984, 619 contributions, and 284 donors.
