The lawyer leading inquiries for the trade unions royal commission has recommended a finding that Ms Gillard did not commit any crime and did not know about alleged criminal activity by her former lover, union boss Bruce Wilson.
The recommendation is among the written submissions to the commission by counsel assisting, Jeremy Stoljar SC, published on Friday.
Ms Gillard posted a message on Twitter, in what she said will be her only public statement at this time.
However Mr Stoljar reports that some aspects of Ms Gillard's professional conduct as a solicitor "appear questionable" and that she likely did receive money from Mr Wilson for her home renovations - something she has consistently denied.
Ms Gillard was questioned in the commission in September about off-the-books work she did as a young lawyer for Mr Wilson when he was an official in the Australian Workers' Union.
Ms Gillard advised Mr Wilson and his union bagman, Ralph Blewitt, on setting up the AWU Workplace Reform Association (WRA) in the early 1990s.
The commission has heard Mr Wilson used WRA as a slush fund to secretly receive thousands of dollars from a construction firm for work that was never done.
Ms Gillard's failure to open a file for the work on the office system and rumours money from the fund paid for her renovations have dogged her career across two decades.
Mr Stoljar wrote: "Had she adopted a more rigorous approach to the task, it might have been more difficult for Mr Wilson and Mr Blewitt to have behaved as they did".
He concludes: "The evidence supports a finding that Ms Gillard was the beneficiary or recipient of certain funds from Mr Wilson."
