I have created a goal in GA which tracks when someone visits the signup page for an application - it works fine.
However, in itself that doesn't really help as I want to know if they actually sign up so I created a new goal to the application home page with a required step of the signup page as below:
The problem is that when I look at my Goal URL's for example it is showing the wrong number - it shows 792 created accounts today when, in fact there were 8.
Further when I look at Reverse Goal path and filter to the exact URL for the application, it shows me 778 where the Goal Previous Step 1 was (entrance) and Step 2 and 3 are (not set). I assume this means they did not visit the signup page hence they shouldn't trigger the goal.
I only want the goal to register if they go to /signup and then go to /application - if they arrive at /application any other way then it should not register.
Have I set this up correctly and can I do what I want?

Visiting a Sign Up Page and Creating an Account is not really the same thing. Have you thought about setting up a 3rd page where the user will be redirected to after they finish signing up for the account? That will give you the right numbers.
Step 1 - User Goes to /application
Step 2 - User Goes from /application to Sign Up page
Step 3 - User is Redirected to a confirmation page after the account is created
So if 100 people went to Step 1 and from there 50 visited the Sign Up page and 5 of them created an account...your conversion rate is 5%.
You can also setup additions steps to track form abandonment rate if your form is long.
