A couple things at play here from what I remember about APEGA ethics. One, when you are signed off/stamped on a document you are responsible for it and you should have either written/prepared the work, overseen the work or thoroughly reviewed the work. Two, you are supposed to be in control of your stamp.
You guys should certainly be reporting these concerns to APEGA and whatever other bodies might be involved. They will investigate and I'm assuming they will correct the matter. I believe they actually take this stuff pretty seriously. I would think that if there is wrong doing or misuse that APEGA will come down hard on whomever is the Practicing Member, or whatever the term is, for the organization. It could even go so far as pulling their permit to practice but if they are a large firm I doubt that would actually happen.
