KPMG LLP contributions received by KPMG PARTNERS/PRINCIPALS AND EMPLOYEES PAC

KPMG LLP meeting its partners-and-employees PAC

KPMG LLP is the grouped employer key. KPMG PARTNERS/PRINCIPALS AND EMPLOYEES PAC is committee C00280222. This page is the overlap: itemized individual gifts whose employer field grouped to KPMG LLP and whose recipient is that PAC. The $8,961,360 figure is the intersection.

Professional-services connected PACs often collect from partners and staff. FEC individual records still do not prove partnership status, payroll deduction, or reimbursement. The slash in the committee name (PARTNERS/PRINCIPALS) is the FEC registered name, not a headcount split. Independent expenditures, if any, are other filings.

Name overlap between KPMG LLP and the PAC is expected. The join exists so the industry hub ($10,749,834) and the PAC hub are not treated as the same list.

Eighty-three percent of the KPMG LLP grouping

The KPMG LLP grouping shows $10,749,834 in itemized individual money. The connected PAC cell is $8,961,360, or about 83% of that total. About 17% of KPMG LLP-coded receipts went to other committees. Those leftover dollars are on the industry hub.

Filers who typed only KPMG, KPMG US, or a national-practice name may sit in other keys if stored separately. This page does not merge those suffixes into the $10,749,834. The 83% share applies to the LLP string as indexed.

12,105 contributions on the PAC side

KPMG PARTNERS/PRINCIPALS AND EMPLOYEES PAC received $8,961,360 from KPMG LLP-coded receipts across 12,105 contributions. Dividing dollars by gifts gives about $740 per contribution. That mean is consistent with repeated itemized PAC gifts rather than a handful of seven-figure checks, but the packet does not publish a median or a partner-versus-staff split.

Twelve thousand lines are not 12,000 unique people. Repeat givers raise the contribution count. The committee overlay for C00280222 also includes receipts whose employer field did not group to KPMG LLP.

Audit-firm strings and federal awards

KPMG entities appear in federal contracting as well as FEC filings. USAspending obligations are not these campaign gifts. This join does not claim that PAC contributions funded federal work, or that federal work funded PAC contributions. Two datasets, one firm name.

The employer field can lag a retirement or a secondment. Correlation between an LLP employer string and a connected PAC is a reporting pattern, not causation of procurement or policy outcomes.

Linked pages for the LLP and the PAC

The Kpmg Llp industry page keeps the $10,749,834 grouping and the other committees that received the remaining 17%. The PAC page keeps C00280222. All industries ranks other accounting-firm keys without merging them into KPMG LLP. All FEC ties lists other employer-committee cells so this connected-PAC join is not mistaken for independent expenditures.

KPMG without LLP, KPMG US, and national-practice names are other keys if stored separately. The 83% share and the $8,961,360 cell apply to KPMG LLP only. Adding those keys would be a recode. The 12,105 lines are not 12,105 partners; repeats raise the count. About $740 per contribution is $8,961,360 divided by 12,105.

Connected-PAC concentration without a partnership census

Eighty-three percent of $10,749,834 is a high connected-PAC share, in the same family as railroad and insurer PAC joins, but the dollars and line counts are this LLP's alone. Do not average those percentages across firms. Each employer string has its own denominator. The leftover 17% of KPMG LLP-coded receipts went to other committees and belongs on the industry hub.

Professional-services PACs often look like payroll files. FEC aggregates still do not flag deduction versus one-off gifts, and they do not split PARTNERS from PRINCIPALS from EMPLOYEES even though those words appear in the committee name. The slash in the PAC title is registered text. Quote $8,961,360, 12,105 itemized lines, committee C00280222, and the $10,749,834 grouping. Leave USAspending and independent expenditures off the citation. Keep LLP in the citation so a KPMG-only row, if indexed, is not silently included. The 12,105-line count belongs next to $8,961,360. The leftover 17% of $10,749,834 sits on other committees on the industry hub, not on C00280222.

Questions

How much did KPMG LLP-coded donors give the KPMG employees PAC?

FEC.gov aggregates show $8,961,360 in itemized individual contributions grouped to KPMG LLP and received by KPMG PARTNERS/PRINCIPALS AND EMPLOYEES PAC (C00280222). That join covers 12,105 contributions. The employer grouping across all committees is $10,749,834. These figures are not independent expenditures.

What share of KPMG LLP FEC money went to this PAC?

About 83% of the $10,749,834 KPMG LLP total is in this join: $8,961,360 to C00280222. The leftover share went to other committees. A high percentage describes overlap, not a finding that the partnership directed every gift.

Does this include people who listed only KPMG without LLP?

Only if the grouped employer text is KPMG LLP. Shorter or longer legal names are other keys if stored separately. This page does not recode those variants into the $8,961,360. Figures are limited to the labeled join.

Is this KPMG corporate political spending?

No. The total is itemized individual contributions whose employer field grouped to KPMG LLP and whose recipient is C00280222. Corporate treasury activity and independent expenditures are other FEC categories. The join does not merge those documents.
