Narrative:

Left the aircraft believing the aircraft was secure. After leaving the airport I was contacted by the chief pilot and told that an engine was left running on our aircraft. This event occurred because while accomplishing the parking checklist I did not confirm the captain's appropriate responses. Also I was distraction and I am unsure if I completed a postflt inspection.
