'Unauthorised parking' what does this actually mean?

The BPA don't routinely visit a site physically to conduct an audit. I doubt there's any real auditing going on at all, other than some basic box ticking before letting a PPC loose on the British public. As I said, I've never seen anything that remotely looks like an 'audit report'. It's a term that easily slips off the tongue and appeases hitherto naive politicians, until Sir Greg Knight got this skimdustry by the short and curlies, resulting in the still-to-be rolled out Parking (Code of Practice) Act 2019. 

Exactly, OPS tried to fob me off with that. Your signs were audited? Who by, the parking sign audit fairies? And was that when they were facing the right way or was it on the day I used your carpark and they we facing the wrong way?

That is exactly my point, when  someone states to POPLA that the signage is inadequate PPC's always refute that with the stock answer "the signage at this site has been audited by the BPA" but no one has ever taken a PPC to task on that lie by asking to see the latest audit which they won't have because they do not do it.
