PricewaterhouseCoopers and the 2014 FEC election cycle

PricewaterhouseCoopers crossed with 2014

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — PricewaterhouseCoopers and 2014 — sum to $469,267. 854 itemized contributions and 428 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 PricewaterhouseCoopers to cycle 2014; it is not a restatement of either hub alone.

Neither the PricewaterhouseCoopers hub nor the 2014 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. 428 unique donors and 854 lines in 2014 sit under the stored string PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS. PWC, PRICEWATERHOUSE COOPERS, PRICE WATERHOUSE COOPERS, and PRICE WATERHOUSE 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.

11.9% of the PricewaterhouseCoopers roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $3,938,710 ($3.9 million). The 2014 slice of $469,267 is about 11.9% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 88.1%, or $3,469,443. Treating 2014 as the PricewaterhouseCoopers FEC story would ignore that remainder. Quote $469,267 when the sentence is about 2014. Quote $3,938,710 when the sentence is about the grouping across cycles. Do not add those two dollar figures; the first is already inside the second.

Treat $3,938,710 as the denominator for the 11.9% 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 $3,938,710. 11.9% is $469,267 divided by $3,938,710. Rounding to $469,267 and $3.9 million does not create extra facts. Use exact integers in a table. Use the rounded forms only as headlines of those same integers.

854 contributions from 428 donors

Dividing $469,267 by 854 contributions yields about $549 per itemized gift. Dividing by 428 donors yields about $1,096 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 2.0. 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 Pricewaterhousecoopers 2014 holds the rows.

428 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 $469,267. State-office campaigns never enter this cell. A later amendment can restate a large transfer while most of the 854 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. PricewaterhouseCoopers 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 PricewaterhouseCoopers 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 $469,267 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 854 contributions, the 428 unique donors, and the 11.9% share of $3,938,710. Comparing PricewaterhouseCoopers in 2014 to another grouping requires that other grouping’s cycle hub. This packet has one grouping and one cycle.

Limits of the PricewaterhouseCoopers × 2014 join

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $469,267. 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, 428 donors, and 854 contributions.

PWC, PRICEWATERHOUSE COOPERS, PRICE WATERHOUSE COOPERS, and PRICE WATERHOUSE are other keys if stored separately. LobbyVault does not merge neighboring spellings into PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS. The key is not a PwC partnership census, not an audit-fee ledger, and not a PwC 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 PricewaterhouseCoopers and 2014 together

Start with $469,267, then Pricewaterhousecoopers 2014 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2014 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: PricewaterhouseCoopers, 2014, $469,267, 854 contributions, 428 donors, 11.9% of $3,938,710, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.

The 11.9% share, the 428 donors count, and the $549 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 $469,267. The denominator for 11.9% is $3,938,710, the PricewaterhouseCoopers grouping in this extract, not every itemized dollar on FEC.gov.
