How much did KPMG LLP donors give in 2014?

FEC.gov aggregates show $1,088,113 in itemized individual contributions for the KPMG LLP grouping in 2014, across 1,317 contributions and 671 donors. That sum is not a firm PAC total.

Is this a combined Big Four total?

No. This page is the KPMG LLP employer key only. Pricewaterhousecoopers LLP and Price Waterhouse are different groupings with their own cycle cells. Combining them would invent a total the packet does not contain.

What share of KPMG LLP FEC money is 2014?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $10,749,834. The 2014 cell of $1,088,113 is about 10.1% of that figure. Other cycles are not listed here.

KPMG LLP and the 2014 FEC election cycle

Donors listing KPMG LLP reported $1,088,113 in itemized individual contributions during the 2014 federal election cycle, according to FEC.gov aggregates. Those dollars arrived in 1,317 contributions from 671 donors. The figure belongs to this LLP employer string, not to a partnership PAC and not to a merged Big Four total. This page joins KPMG LLP to 2014 so a high-volume cell can be read as an overlap rather than as a ranking of audit firms. Six hundred seventy-one donors at about $826 per gift sit in the same high-volume family as the PwC LLP cells without becoming a merged Big Four total. Leave PwC LLP and the 2012 KPMG cell uncombined with these 671 donors.

KPMG LLP crossed with the 2014 midterm

Employer groupings sit on one axis; cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — KPMG LLP and 2014 — sum to $1,088,113. The total is not an official firm disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live elsewhere in the FEC file.

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $10,749,834. The 2014 slice is about 10.1% of that running sum. A midterm window that accounts for roughly one-tenth of the key’s history is a real cell. It is not a substitute for the unfiltered KPMG LLP hub, and it is not a license to add Pricewaterhousecoopers LLP dollars onto this page.

The LLP string as a separate accounting key

Filers type employer text. KPMG LLP collects strings that match this legal-style name. People who wrote KPMG without LLP, or a member-firm variant, may land on neighboring keys. This join does not merge those neighbors. Combining KPMG with PwC cycle cells would invent a Big Four total neither packet publishes.

671 donors and 1,317 contributions describe a broad named-firm cell, in the same family as the PwC LLP joins but with its own counts. Self-reported fields can include retirees and household members. The Commission does not certify employment.

Treat $10,749,834 as the denominator for the 10.1% share. A 2012 KPMG LLP join, if opened, has its own 770-donor facts and must not inherit 2014’s averages.

1,317 contributions from 671 donors

Dividing $1,088,113 by 1,317 contributions yields about $826 per itemized gift. Dividing by 671 donors yields about $1,622 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 2.0. Those means describe many modest itemized receipts, not a handful of large checks, and they are not medians.

Repeat gifts raise the contribution count faster than the donor count. 1,317 and 671 belong together. The overlay for KPMG LLP 2014 is the row view. Do not import PwC’s $662 2014 mean as a benchmark on this page; that number belongs to a different key. About 2.0 lines per donor among 671 identities at an $826 mean gift is KPMG’s 2014 shape, not PwC’s $662 mean in the same midterm.

2014 without a Big Four ranking

The 2014 election cycle hub includes every stored employer for that window. KPMG LLP is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a cycle-wide denominator, so no national share is stated. It also does not rank KPMG against PwC or Price Waterhouse here.

Open the 2014 election cycle to drop the employer filter and KPMG LLP to drop the year. All FEC ties lists other relationship pages that keep their own contribution counts.

Limits of the KPMG join

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $1,088,113. Federal contracts in USAspending are a different dataset. Sharing an audit-firm name and a calendar year does not fund those awards with these gifts.

Correlation between a partnership employer string and a midterm cycle is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 671 donors, and 1,317 contributions. Audit-client outcomes are not in the table.

Keeping 671 donors on the 2014 LLP page

Start with $1,088,113, then KPMG LLP 2014 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2014 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Keep 2012’s KPMG cell on its own ties page if you open it.

The 10.1% share, the $826 mean gift, and the 671-donor count belong to this intersection. Carry them onto another accounting key and they stop being facts from this packet. One thousand three hundred seventeen contributions and a 10.1 percent share of $10,749,834 describe KPMG LLP in 2014. The 2012 KPMG join has 770 donors and its own $638 mean. Combining accounting keys would invent a professional-services ranking this packet does not contain.
