Governance and Accountability Weaknesses in French Nonprofit Organizations: Are They a National Exception?

Abstract

This article studies French grassroots volunteer organizations, their governance and their accountability. The sample is composed of French major GVOs, in terms of reputation and resources. Their reports and declarations are analyzed. Using multiple regressions, the study shows the relevance of intervention areas, legal statuses and action domains and types when explaining governance mechanisms. Accountability practices are poorly influenced by structural characteristics, but this study points out many weaknesses in both GVOs’ governance and accountability. This research underlines the inapplicability of current literature and the necessity to build a research specific to French GVOs. They are not subject to the same structural influences as other NPOs.
