On the flip side: what is the best way to bring up a conversation when you catch your coworker made a mistake without offending them.
My approach usually goes something like: “I noticed this, and I think it should be this. Could you please investigate?”
Is there a better approach?

That works. When the person who made the mistake is more senior I've also used "I found this and I don't understand, could you explain?" As in, you're assuming it's correct and it's you who doesn't get it, which means you're not telling them it's wrong, you're leaving them to realise that that for themselves, and they can then save face by saying something vague like "I'll look into it" and then quietly fix it.

I think it's good. Talk about the problem and the cause, not about who caused it.
