It's an example of the tradeoff between type I and type II errors. The old system flagged almost nothing as waste/fraud/etc. and as such generated almost no false positives (inappropriate cuts).
A properly balanced system wouldn't have zero errors, which means it will generate more false positives, while reducing false negatives (things that should have been cut but weren't).
