"nothing you can present to the RIPE NCC will give you a /21 of IPv4 space".

IPv4 has run out, and we're in the last /8 policy - which means "if you
are a member (LIR) and present the need for a single IPv4 address, you 
will get a /22, no more, no less", and this /22 is only given out *once*
per LIR.

To keep it, you have to pay your LIR fees, be truthful about the stuff
in your contract (company details etc), and don't let a judge convict
you for a crime.

If you got the /21 *from a LIR*, you will not be audited, because you're
not dealing with the NCC.

If you *are* a LIR, and as that LIR have received a /21, the NCC will try 
to ensure that whatever you registered is OK - if you have never registered 
anything, nothing will happen, unless they find lies in your contractual 
information (company doesn't exist, etc.) - in *that* case they will 
close down the LIR and take back the space.
