p.4: "Audits are generally announced; however, we occasionally conduct unannounced audits when necessary. At higher risk supplier facilities, we conduct audits on a periodic basis."

p.4: "Higher-risk suppliers undergo on-site audits and/or capability assessments that may use the full RBA Code or a portion of it, depending on supplier’s risk profile and specific compliance concerns. These audits are performed by qualified, independent, third-party auditors or similarly qualified Intel auditors."

"Despite the challenges with COVID-19, in 2022 across 136 suppliers, 270 third-party RBA VAP and Intel-led audits were conducted in facilities within our supply chain using the current RBA VAP Operations Manual to verify compliance to the RBA Code. The vast majority were conducted on-site. This is a 72% increase from 2021 and reflects a catch-up period despite COVID-19 restrictions. This represented approximately 33% of our critical suppliers. "
