Pricewaterhousecoopers LLP and the 2012 FEC cycle

Donors listing Pricewaterhousecoopers LLP reported $1,108,787 in itemized individual contributions during the 2012 federal election cycle, according to FEC.gov aggregates. Those dollars arrived in 1,678 contributions from 923 donors. This is the presidential-year twin of the 2014 LLP join, not a continuation of that year’s 895-donor count. The page joins Pricewaterhousecoopers LLP to 2012 so two high-volume cells stay on separate ties pages rather than being added into one invented total. Nine hundred twenty-three donors in 2012 and 895 donors in 2014 are two LLP cells, not a single running roster that you can add on this page. Leave the 2014 LLP cell and KPMG’s 2012 cell uncombined with these 923 donors.

Key figures

  • Pricewaterhousecoopers LLP × 2012 is $1,108,787 in itemized individual contributions.
  • The cell includes 1,678 contributions from 923 donors.
  • 2012 is about 13.3% of the grouping’s $8,306,870 all-cycle total.
  • This cell does not inherit 2014’s 895-donor count.
  • Mean gift size is about $661; that is a mean, not a median.

PwC LLP crossed with 2012

Rows that match both the LLP employer key and the 2012 cycle sum to $1,108,787. 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 2014 LLP cell has its own $1,148,369 and 895 donors; those facts do not travel backward onto this page.

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $8,306,870. The 2012 slice is about 13.3% of that running sum, close to 2014’s 13.8% share but not the same dollars and not the same donor count. Each cycle is its own intersection. Adding the two cycle totals here would invent a combined figure this packet does not publish as a join.

923 donors on the LLP string

Filers who wrote Pricewaterhousecoopers LLP land here. Filers who wrote Price Waterhouse land on that other key. This join does not merge them. 923 donors is slightly larger than the 2014 LLP donor count; that comparison is a pair of separate cells, not a trend claim beyond the two published numbers.

Self-reported employer text can include retirees and household members. The Commission does not certify employment. The overlay for Pricewaterhousecoopers LLP 2012 is the row view of 1,678 lines.

Treat $8,306,870 as the denominator for the 13.3% share. Neighboring accounting keys, including KPMG LLP cycle joins, keep their own denominators.

1,678 contributions at a low mean gift

Dividing $1,108,787 by 1,678 contributions yields about $661 per itemized gift. Dividing by 923 donors yields about $1,201 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 1.8. Those means again describe many modest itemized receipts, similar in shape to the 2014 LLP cell but not identical and not a median.

Repeat gifts raise the contribution count faster than the donor count. 1,678 and 923 belong together. Do not import 2014’s $662 mean as if it were this cell’s only story; this cell has its own $661 arithmetic. About 1.8 lines per donor among 923 identities in 2012 is a sister shape to the 2014 LLP cell, not a license to stack the two cycle totals on this page.

2012 without an accounting ranking

The 2012 election cycle hub includes every stored employer for that window. Pricewaterhousecoopers LLP is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a cycle-wide denominator, so no national share is stated. Presidential-year volume belongs on the cycle hub.

Open the 2012 election cycle to drop the employer filter and Pricewaterhousecoopers LLP to drop the year. All FEC ties lists other relationship pages, including the 2014 LLP join, which keeps 895 donors on its own slug.

Limits of the 2012 LLP join

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $1,108,787. USAspending awards 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 presidential-year cycle is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 923 donors, and 1,678 contributions. Audit-client outcomes are not in the table.

Keeping 2012’s 923 donors off the 2014 page

Start with $1,108,787, then Pricewaterhousecoopers LLP 2012 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2012 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Keep 2014’s LLP cell on its own ties page.

The 13.3% share, the 923-donor count, and the $661 mean gift belong to 2012. Blend them with 2014 and the arithmetic stops being a fact from this packet. One thousand six hundred seventy-eight contributions at about $661 per gift and a 13.3 percent share of $8,306,870 describe Pricewaterhousecoopers LLP in 2012. Leave KPMG LLP’s 770-donor 2012 cell on its own slug. Itemized individual receipts do not fund federal audit contracts by sharing a year.
