In checking around about it, it turns out almost everyone who worked for the company for any length of time was aware of it and seemingly ok with it.
They did some other mildly shady things that I was aware of and wasn't necessarily happy about but could let slide, but not this.
The company I was working for is a multi-branch facility based in Western Canada so I did some digging and found that all branches were using this practice to make a little extra ( a lot extra once it was all added up!).
Once I had my facts straight I confronted my boss about it and was laid off for lack of work within the hour! I would have quit anyway so I wasn't too upset about it and I found a great job very shortly after.
I am not going to let this go, though. That is outright theft and it's BS. Who would I complain to about this? The better business bureau? The company is also ISO ceritified (I don't know how).

if you want I can grab the confidential informant lead line for the CRA when I'm at work on monday (I work for the CRA) and you can give them a call about it. We can't do anything about the thievery part of it but I suspect that those "extra parts" aren't showing up anything on expense statements either.
