The assembly is purely a scrutiny body. A bit like parliament.

Parliament can vote against a bill. Can the Assembly do anything
like that?

It can veto the Mayor's budget.

What if the Mayor doesn't stick to the budget?

He can only set a Council Tax precept and allow expenditure that
has been authorised by the budget.

Yes, but I was wondering what might happen if does not stick to the
budget. Has the Assembly or any other body any sanctions available?

If they don't the auditor has.
