The Republican vice-presidential candidate was accused of sacking a senior state official, Walter Monegan, in connection with a family feud.
But the McCain-Palin campaign team said that the report showed Mrs Palin acted within 'proper and lawful authority'.
The report could have a significant effect on Republican hopes of winning next month's US presidential election.
Mrs Palin has always denied any wrongdoing, and her supporters say the charges are motivated by her political opponents."
