Parking: Private Sector

Answer

Of the 157 Statement of Control audits of private parking companies carried out by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), 156 presented a low risk in respect of the handling, storage and processing of vehicle keeper data, demonstrating that appropriate controls were in place and consistently applied.

One audit identified a medium level of risk, indicating a limited level of concern. The DVLA worked directly with the company concerned to address the areas of non-compliance and ensure that appropriate remedial action was taken to reduce and mitigate the identified risks.

Of the 203 Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA) evidence-based transactional audits undertaken, 65 identified areas of non-compliance with DVLA requirements.

GIAA audit findings represent a point-in-time assessment based on the information and evidence available during the audit. In many cases, evidence that was not available at the time of the audit will subsequently be provided to the DVLA demonstrating compliance with requirements.

Where non-compliance is identified, companies are required to provide appropriate assurances and evidence demonstrating that corrective and remedial actions have been implemented before the matter is considered resolved.
