I think the two audits the board refers to as those by IDEAS.
However, except of the announcement of the final label, there was no
report to the community. An audit usually comes with recommendations and
a series of good points/concerns but as far as I know, no result was
shared outside of the board/the direction. I can understand that some
points may be confidential, but I also think that some conclusions could
have been shared, provided the auditing organism had been told to write
their conclusion in a suitable way.

Only an audit can answer. To switch from rumors to facts, this is the
most appropriate solution.
It seems that Wikimedia France had two audits (but it would be
interesting to know if limited only to the financial aspects) and
another by the FDC.
The General Assembly can have the power to claim for an audit too,
defining the auditing entity.
Kind regards

The power of WMF, defined in the agreement, is basically limited to
revoke the chapters agreement.
There is no mention in the Chapters agreement that WMF can take a
control of a chapter and to manage a General Assembly.
You forget that the legal pilaster of a chapter is the bylaws.

Rogol,
What content protected by safe harbor provisions would the Foundation
be exerting editorial control over by requiring governance standards
of a Chapter?
Is there some French law that requires charities to be more
independent of their international affiliates than would be under such
a requirement?
The chapter agreements already contemplate this sort of control,
because they state, "The Chapter agrees ... to refrain from ...
engaging in any activity that might negatively impact the work or
image of the Wikimedia Foundation," and are revocable upon three
months notice.

of the chapter (as an independent and charitable body). The
Foundation is
free to fund or not fund, to recognise or derecognise. But not to
control.
