The air accident investigators have to do rather more than just find the cause of an accident. Reporting that a bolt snapped under excessive load or a part was misfitted during maintenance simply identifies the immediate cause of that particular incident. The chain of events leading up to the failure has to be identified and remedial measures suggested to prevent a recurrance. That requires some quite detailed discussions with the aircraft manufacturer and maintenance organisations and possibly lengthy engineering tests before any detailed report will be published.
