Deloitte and the 2014 FEC election cycle

Deloitte crossed with 2014

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Deloitte and 2014 — sum to $478,702. 1,081 itemized contributions and 254 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. This page joins the employer grouping Deloitte to cycle 2014; it is not a restatement of either hub alone.

Neither the Deloitte hub nor the 2014 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. 254 unique donors and 1,081 lines in 2014 sit under the stored string DELOITTE. DELOITTE LLP, DELOITTE TOUCHE TOHMATSU, DELOITTE CONSULTING, and TOUCHE ROSS stay on their own keys if filers used them. Federal audit, consulting, or other professional-services USAspending rows are a different file and are not funded by these itemized gifts. Campaign contributions are not federal awards.

6.4% of the Deloitte roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $7,518,320 ($7.5 million). The 2014 slice of $478,702 is about 6.4% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 93.6%, or $7,039,618. Treating 2014 as the Deloitte FEC story would ignore that remainder. Quote $478,702 when the sentence is about 2014. Quote $7,518,320 when the sentence is about the grouping across cycles. Do not add those two dollar figures; the first is already inside the second.

Treat $7,518,320 as the denominator for the 6.4% 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 2014 from being folded silently into $7,518,320. 6.4% is $478,702 divided by $7,518,320. Rounding to $478,702 and $7.5 million does not create extra facts. Use exact integers in a table. Use the rounded forms only as headlines of those same integers.

1,081 contributions from 254 donors

Dividing $478,702 by 1,081 contributions yields about $443 per itemized gift. Dividing by 254 donors yields about $1,885 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 4.3. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians and not a party split. Repeat gifts raise the contribution count faster than the donor count. The overlay for Deloitte 2014 holds the rows.

254 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. Unitemized gifts never appear in $478,702. State-office campaigns never enter this cell. A later amendment can restate a large transfer while most of the 1,081 small lines stay put. After quarterly filings, reread the live overlay. If that hub and this snapshot disagree, FEC.gov controls.

2014 as the cycle dimension

The 2014 election cycle hub includes every stored employer or occupation for that window. Deloitte is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a cycle-wide denominator, so no national share is stated. Open the 2014 election cycle to drop the employer grouping filter and Deloitte to drop the year. FEC cycle 2014 covers 2013–2014. A gift dated in the odd year and a gift dated in the even year can share the $478,702 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 1,081 contributions, the 254 unique donors, and the 6.4% share of $7,518,320. Comparing Deloitte in 2014 to another grouping requires that other grouping’s cycle hub. This packet has one grouping and one cycle.

Limits of the Deloitte × 2014 join

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $478,702. Federal audit, consulting, or other professional-services USAspending rows are different datasets. Sharing an employer or occupation string and a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. Correlation between a stored string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 254 donors, and 1,081 contributions.

DELOITTE LLP, DELOITTE TOUCHE TOHMATSU, DELOITTE CONSULTING, and TOUCHE ROSS are other keys if stored separately. LobbyVault does not merge neighboring spellings into DELOITTE. The key is not a Deloitte LLP partnership census, not an audit-fee ledger, and not a Deloitte PAC. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. A ranking of industries for 2014 is a different page — the 2014 election-cycle index — not a homemade sort of this file.

Citing Deloitte and 2014 together

Start with $478,702, then Deloitte 2014 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2014 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: Deloitte, 2014, $478,702, 1,081 contributions, 254 donors, 6.4% of $7,518,320, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.

The 6.4% share, the 254 donors count, and the $443 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a successor label or a sibling string and they stop being facts from this packet. This prose is a packet snapshot. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov and the live overlay control. Do not print a 2014 share of US politics from $478,702. The denominator for 6.4% is $7,518,320, the Deloitte grouping in this extract, not every itemized dollar on FEC.gov.

Questions

How much did Deloitte donors give in 2014?

FEC.gov aggregates show $478,702 in itemized individual contributions for the Deloitte grouping in the 2014 cycle, across 1,081 contributions and 254 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $7,518,320 all-cycle figure. Cite FEC.gov for the Deloitte × 2014 join.

What share of Deloitte FEC money is 2014?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $7,518,320. The 2014 cell of $478,702 is about 6.4% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 93.6% ($7,039,618) on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Deloitte hub holds other cycles.

Is this Deloitte’s PAC or an official account?

No. $478,702 is itemized individual receipts whose employer or occupation text grouped to Deloitte. Committee PAC filings and official organization accounts sit outside this rollup. The key is not a Deloitte LLP partnership census, not an audit-fee ledger, and not a Deloitte PAC. Filings remain on FEC.gov.

Where is the overlay for the Deloitte 2014 join?

Open Deloitte 2014 for the cycle overlay, Deloitte for the grouping hub, and the 2014 election cycle for the year without this filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON file names the join; the overlay holds the itemized rows.
