Independent assurance for complex engineering decisions.
AEA provides evidence-led engineering investigation and governance support where failure carries operational, financial, or regulatory consequence.
What we do
We help organisations establish what happened, why it happened, what it means, and what needs to happen next — supported by an evidence trail that stands up to scrutiny.
- Independent investigations and causal analysis focused on preventing recurrence.
- Assurance reviews against defined requirements, processes, and controls.
- Governance support through decision briefs, options, and trade-offs.
- Scope definition to prevent ambiguity and scope creep.

How engagement works
- Initial call — confirm objective, constraints, and stakeholders.
- Scope of services — define deliverables, assumptions, and boundaries.
- Evidence review — records, interviews, inspections (as agreed).
- Analysis — causal chain, contributing factors, control effectiveness.
- Outputs — report or briefing with recommendations and limitations.
Professional position
Engineering involves managing risk. Our work supports responsible decisions by making risk, evidence, and limitations explicit.
- No statutory certification or legal advice.
- No predetermined outcomes or “rubber-stamping”.
- Conflicts of interest are declared and managed.
