Indeed and that is what happens in our group. We all own an equal share of the aircraft however we have a group 'Chairman', he has designated members of the group as able to carry out check flights with interseted parties. So if, say, I flew with someone and they were fine, I would inform the Chairman that they were ok on the flight, likewise if they made a hash of it I would just tell him as such as well.
You are very lucky that no one has challenged the situation. A problem could arise if your check pilot stops someone before they even get off the ground and that person asks for the authority that they have to comment on another
qualified pilots ability, what training they completed and to what standard they are certified.
It is also only works in group situations where the checking pilot is willing to pay part of the costs of the flight that they have been asked to check a pilot on.

llanfairpg,
You need to read your part D (as well as parts of the part A).
Remember that you do not need to have an FTO if you have an AOC.
