Whose ultimately responsible when job is delegated

If you manage a particular group of staff and you delegate out a responsibility of yours and it is not done correctly, who is ultimately responsible? Is the manager still held accountable for the errors?

Ultimately, the responsibility for accuracy by work done by the department is the manager's. Yes, the person to whom the task was delegated may have done the work incorrectly, but it is the manager's responsibility to check the accuracy of their work, to keep them on track, and to ensure the efficient running of their department. Just because you hand off a project to a subordinate doesn't mean you hand off all responsibility for how it is done.

Ever hear the phrase, "The buck stops here"! It is the manager that chooses what to delegate to whom and as a result the buck stops here.

I believe it would be the managers problem. I would hold the manager responsible for picking the wrong person to delegate.
