You are part of a team which is reviewing the budget for another Government department. Your line manager was away from the office when an urgent request to review some figures came through. You reviewed the figures, and a more experienced colleague signed them off in the absence of your line manager. A senior colleague from elsewhere in the Treasury has now identified that there was an error in the figures which have been signed off. Do you: A. Review the figures to understand the origin of this error and suggest to the colleague how you think it could be resolved. B. Alert the individual who signed off the figures and ask that they get in touch with the colleague to rectify the issue. C. Contact the colleague and find out the implications for the error and discuss what they would like to do. D. Wait for your line manager to come back and discuss with them the best way to move forward.
