Price Waterhouse and the 2014 FEC election cycle

Donors listing Price Waterhouse reported $1,173,204 in itemized individual contributions during the 2014 federal election cycle, according to FEC.gov aggregates. Those dollars arrived in 362 contributions from 163 donors. The figure belongs to this employer string as matched, not to a partnership PAC and not to the longer Pricewaterhousecoopers LLP key. This page joins Price Waterhouse to 2014 so the two tables can be read as an overlap rather than as a single accounting-industry total. The shorter Price Waterhouse key and the longer Pricewaterhousecoopers LLP key are parallel employer strings, not parent and child totals on this page.

Key figures

  • Price Waterhouse × 2014 is $1,173,204 in itemized individual contributions.
  • The cell includes 362 contributions from 163 donors.
  • 2014 is about 16.8% of the grouping’s $6,975,521 all-cycle total.
  • This key is not the Pricewaterhousecoopers LLP grouping.
  • The join does not mix FEC gifts with federal awards.

Price Waterhouse crossed with the 2014 cycle

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Price Waterhouse and 2014 — sum to $1,173,204. 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 $6,975,521. The 2014 slice is about 16.8% of that running sum. A midterm window that accounts for roughly one-sixth of the key’s history is a real cell. It is not a substitute for the unfiltered employer hub, and it is not a license to add Pricewaterhousecoopers LLP dollars on this page.

A legacy name stored as its own key

Filers type employer text. Some write Price Waterhouse, some write PwC, some write Pricewaterhousecoopers LLP. LobbyVault does not collapse those strings on this join. People who listed the longer LLP name belong on that grouping’s cycle pages, including a 2014 PwC LLP join if it exists. Combining the keys would invent a merged total.

Self-reported fields can include retirees and household members who reuse a workplace. The 163 donors are contributor identities that matched Price Waterhouse in 2014, not a headcount of audit staff. The Commission does not certify employment.

Treat $6,975,521 as the denominator for the 16.8% share. Neighboring accounting keys have their own denominators. This page reports only the Price Waterhouse key in 2014.

362 gifts and 163 donors

Dividing $1,173,204 by 362 contributions yields about $3,241 per itemized gift. Dividing by 163 donors yields about $7,198 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 2.2. Those ratios describe modest repeat giving, not a one-check population and not a median.

163 donors is a broader cell than the one- and two-person joins in this batch. Breadth is still not a workforce census. Repeat gifts raise the contribution count faster than the donor count, which is why 362 and 163 should be read as a pair. The overlay for Price Waterhouse 2014 holds the rows. About 2.2 lines per donor among 163 identities is a broader accounting-name cell than the LLP key’s 895-donor 2014 join, and the two must stay unadded.

2014 without an accounting league table

The 2014 election cycle hub includes every stored employer for that window. Price Waterhouse 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 accounting strings against one another.

Open the 2014 election cycle to drop the employer filter and Price Waterhouse to drop the year. All FEC ties lists other relationship pages, including any PwC LLP cycle joins, which keep their own facts.

Limits of the legacy-name join

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $1,173,204. A federal contract or grant in USAspending is a different dataset. Sharing an audit-firm name and a calendar year does not fund those awards with these gifts.

Correlation between an accounting employer string and a midterm cycle is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 163 donors, and 362 contributions. Motive and audit-client outcomes are not in the table.

Keeping Price Waterhouse off the LLP page

Start with $1,173,204, then the Price Waterhouse 2014 overlay, then the industry hub or the 2014 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Keep the longer Pricewaterhousecoopers LLP key on its own ties pages.

The 16.8% share, the 163-donor count, and the $7,198 per-donor mean belong to this intersection. Carry them onto the LLP grouping and they stop being facts from this packet. One hundred sixty-three donors and 362 contributions give this legacy-name cell a broader shape than the one-donor joins nearby, with a 16.8 percent share of $6,975,521. That breadth still is not a census of audit staff. Leave PwC LLP’s 895-donor 2014 cell on its own ties page.

Questions

How much did Price Waterhouse donors give in 2014?
FEC.gov aggregates show $1,173,204 in itemized individual contributions for the Price Waterhouse grouping in the 2014 cycle, across 362 contributions and 163 donors. That sum is not a firm PAC total.
Is this the same as Pricewaterhousecoopers LLP?
No. This page is the Price Waterhouse employer key only. The longer LLP string is a different grouping with its own cycle cells. Combining them would invent a total the packet does not contain.
What share of Price Waterhouse FEC money is 2014?
The grouping’s all-cycle total is $6,975,521. The 2014 cell of $1,173,204 is about 16.8% of that figure. Other cycles are not listed here.
Where is the overlay for this join?
Open Price Waterhouse 2014 for the cycle overlay, Price Waterhouse for the grouping hub, and the 2014 election cycle for the year without this employer filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages.
