The findings of the full and final report were presented to council members on Thursday night and debated behind closed doors.
The report by consulting firm Deloitte said there was no evidence of impropriety on behalf of council officers directly involved in the process of awarding the tender of a cafe on the banks of the River Lagan in Belfast to Kirk McCambley.
The report also shows that the council did not incur any financial loss as a result of the award of the lease.
"The report did, however, identify the need for some minor procedural improvements, and the Council has agreed to consider these and the recommendations as quickly as possible", Castlereagh Borough Council said in a statement.
Speaking after the meeting the DUP's MLA Jimmy Spratt said he hoped that the "final conclusion of this episode will help Iris' recovery."
"The report is perfectly clear that there was no wrongdoing on the part of Council officers or by serving and former Councillors, " Mr Spratt said.
"There are some however who attempted to advance their own political agenda behind a smokescreen of mud-slinging and rumour-mongering associated with this issue."
"Those people now have absolutely no basis for their vindictive campaign and their motives are now exposed. The report exonerates everyone of wrongdoing."
Mrs Robinson withdrew from public life last year, resigning as an MP, MLA and as a councillor after revelations emerged of her affair.
The final report was released on the Castlereagh Borough Council website on Friday.
