The adjustments are the important number as they will likely impact valuation. Ultimately, you hire FDD teams to make sure the books are somewhat legit. It's not an audit, but it's a third party affirmation that you're (hopefully) not investing in a business with phony numbers. Further, I like to walk through areas such as bonus accruals, inventory reserves, etc. as the ways Company's report can vary (especially with international businesses) so you understand what the numbers actually mean.
The other important section is net debt as indebtedness will be a dollar-for-dollar reduction from seller proceeds based on the purchase agreement.
