The operating profit percentage is one of a number of profitability ratios.


The act of making laws, regulations, systems or practices the same - or sufficiently similar - in different countries, companies or the like, so that they can work together more easily.
It is calculated as operating profit divided by revenue.


The potential benefits of harmonisation include:


*Spreading better practices and appropriate standards more widely, more quickly.
Also known as the 'operating profit ratio', or 'operating profit margin'.
*Reducing the scope for tax arbitrage, regulatory arbitrage and smuggling.
*Reducing error rates in reporting.
*Saving reporting and other administration costs.
