Accenture and the 2014 FEC election cycle

Reading $324,371 as an intersection

$324,371 is the amount that survives both filters. The employer filter is Accenture (ACCENTURE). The cycle filter is 2014. FEC.gov itemized individual contributions supply the dollars, the 368 lines, and the 196 donors.

Because the grouping is professional-services employer text, the cell is a text match. Household members, retirees, and former workers can reuse a workplace or title. 196 donor identities in 2014 matched the stored string ACCENTURE. People who typed Accenture LLP or a legacy Andersen Consulting label sit elsewhere. Neighboring stored labels include ACCENTURE LLP, ACCENTURE PLC, ANDERSEN CONSULTING, and named Accenture affiliates. LobbyVault does not merge those strings into $324,371. The Commission does not audit those claims on this aggregate.

Use the industry hub when the question is every cycle for Accenture. Use the 2014 election cycle when the question is every string that year. Use this tie when the question is both.

The $5,479,548 denominator

Divide $324,371 by $5,479,548 and the result is about 5.9%. The complementary share is 94.1%, or $5,155,177 outside 2014. Those two pieces add to the grouping total on FEC.gov as stored here.

$5,479,548 is not earnings, assets, or federal contract value. It is summed itemized individual contributions that matched ACCENTURE in any cycle in this table. The denominator $5,479,548 is every cycle stored for ACCENTURE, not revenue and not assets. $324,371 over $5,479,548 is about 5.9%. The leftover $5,155,177 is other even-year windows on the Accenture hub.

$881 per contribution, $1,655 per donor

Per-gift mean $881 and per-donor mean $1,655 follow from $324,371, 368, and 196. About 1.9 itemized lines per donor is the third ratio. Report them as means, not as typical gifts.

Contributor identities can include people who listed ACCENTURE as employer or occupation without a current job match. The FEC form is self-reported. Means: $881 per itemized contribution, $1,655 per unique donor, 1.9 contributions per donor. Report them as arithmetic on $324,371, 368, and 196. They are not medians.

Cycle tag versus calendar year

Calendar year 2014 and FEC cycle 2014 are easy to confuse. The stored tag is the cycle. Both years of the window can feed $324,371. This prose does not split them because the packet does not.

Accenture remains one grouping among many on the 2014 hub. This join does not list siblings. All FEC ties is the directory of other two-dimension pages. 2014 is a midterm even-year window on FEC.gov. 2014 as a cycle tag includes the odd year paired with that even year. This packet does not split those years. $324,371 is the two-year cell.

Correlation is not a spending trail

A shared year and a shared employer word are not a causal chain. $324,371 is the itemized-individual overlap. It is not proof that Accenture as an organization directed the gifts, and it is not proof that the gifts bought federal contracts.

All FEC ties collects other joins. Live overlay numbers win if they disagree with this snapshot. FEC.gov remains the originating public record. PAC filings sit outside $324,371. So do independent expenditures and unitemized gifts. So do USAspending obligations. The page is professional-services employer text, not Accenture PAC, Accenture LLP as a corporate treasury, or USAspending awards tagged to Accenture entities.

Using the four internal links

Four hrefs cover the join: the 2014 overlay for this string, the Accenture industry hub, the 2014 election cycle hub, and the ties index. Together they let a reader add or remove one filter at a time without leaving FEC itemized-individual space.

This snapshot recorded $324,371 from 368 contributions and 196 donors. Live pages can move. FEC.gov is the originating filing system. Citation order that preserves the join: dollars first ($324,371), then both keys (Accenture, 2014), then volume (368 contributions, 196 donors), then source (FEC.gov). Restating the join without new numbers: Accenture in 2014 is $324,371 from 368 itemized individual contributions and 196 unique donors on FEC.gov. The same string stores $5,479,548 across cycles, so 2014 is about 5.9% and other windows hold $5,155,177 (94.1%). The grouping is professional-services employer text, not Accenture PAC, Accenture LLP as a corporate treasury, or USAspending awards tagged to Accenture entities.
