Nobody is checking the numbers

Recently hit the desk ~2 months ago. I've began to realize that my associates aren't really checking my numbers at all. I only know so much, and so far, no one has challenged any numbers I've done and stuff has gone out to clients, but I feel so weird about not having anyone really check my comps/calculations. Gives me anxiety at night just thinking about a situation where a client asks an MD something and he/she realizes I fucked it up. Should I be asking my associates to review my calculations directly? I don't want them to think I need handholding but I know that mistakes are inevitable. Isn't my work also their responsibility to check completely before it moves up the chain?
