Reported error to head office, do you think I need to do any more? (Bearing in mind I don't want to get struck off!) I've corrected balance in CD register by putting footnote explaining discrepancy. RPSGB CD fact sheet says no need to contact CD accountable officer if incident is resolved (which it is). Advice anyone? |
