Speaker Details:

Penny Dunbabin, The Home Office

I have spent most of my career in the energy sector, firstly as an engineer and then in providing scientific advice for policy development in renewables and nuclear decommissioning. This included policy work for primary and secondary legislation. I was seconded to the team working on Companies House reform in 2022 and developed an interest in economic crime. I joined the Home Office in 2023 and was responsible for writing the guidance for the offence of failure to prevent fraud. This included an informal consultation with over 50 Government departments, regulators and arm’s length bodies and over 100 industry representatives, including 38 trade bodies and a number of professional bodies who circulated to their members. I am now working on developing policy to protect businesses against fraud.

Daniel Dorman, The Home Office

After a leaving the private sector I have held a number of roles across the civil service, predominantly within Homeland Security, as well as within the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and Department of International Trade. Most recently I led the development of the Fraud Strategy, before joining the team developing the Online Crime Centre.
