The corporation's governing body has agreed the "right action" had been taken against him.
The BBC Trust, which published its report on the controversy today (Friday), said the calls were "grossly offensive" and there was no justification for broadcasting them.
It said the material broadcast on Russell Brand's Radio 2 show last month was a "deplorable intrusion" into the private lives of Andrew and his granddaughter, Georgina Baillie.
But Trust chairman Sir Michael Lyons said the BBC's director general had taken the right action with regard to Jonathan, who was suspended without pay for three months.
He said: "We have underlined very clearly that it is not the job of the Trust to make decisions about the terms and conditions of performers or the sanctions that are applied to them when they are found to be wanting.
"We are very clear that the director general has taken the right action with respect to Jonathan Ross."
Jonathan, who was involved in the broadcast, is due to return to his £6 million-a-year job when his current period of suspension without pay ends in January.
Mr Lyons also called for more editorial oversight of "high risk programmes".
He said: "Putting Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross in the same studio, you could have predicted quite straightforwardly was going to be a risky situation. This isn't rocket science."
Regarding the smoking ban, when you go out and go back home you no longer smell like an ashtray. Passive smoking kills. Period.
