Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for.

edit: This is the current state of my code, and it almost does what I'm looking for--how can I make the loop exclude the root directory companies? I only want this to happen in the immediate subfolders.

Code:
cd companies
find . -type d -print |
while read dirname 
do
  cd $dirname
  if [ -f "changes.txt" ]; then
     #some code
  else
      #some other code
  fi
  cd -
done

efi_mkdir

efi_mkdir(1M)															     efi_mkdir(1M)

NAME

       efi_mkdir - make an EFI directory

SYNOPSIS

       devicefile] dirname

DESCRIPTION

       makes an EFI directory.

       The EFI file system is based on the FAT file system and used by the Itanium-based system BIOS to locate an HP-UX bootloader.  See efi(4).

       creates	directory  dirname in the EFI volume specified by devicefile.  If dirname already exists, exits with a diagnostic message, and the
       directory is not changed.  If more than one subdirectory needs to be created to make dirname, exits  with  a  diagnostic  message  and  the
       directory  is  not  changed, unless the option is specified.  dirname should be relative to the root of the EFI volume specified by device-
       file, not to an HP-UX file system.

   Options
       Options can be used singly or combined in any order before the file names.  The space between option and argument is optional.

       devicefile     is the device special file of the EFI file system where the directory is to be made.  Without the option,  uses  the  device
		      file specified in the environment variable if it is defined.  The option overrides the environment variable.

       Create intermediate directories as necessary.

RETURN VALUE

       returns exit code 0 if the directory is made successfully.  Otherwise it prints a diagnostic message and returns nonzero.

	   0	  Successful completion.
	  >0	  Error condition occurred.

EXAMPLES

       Create directory in device file which contains an EFI file system:

       Create a directory in device file which contains an EFI file system, when does not exist yet:

       Create a directory in persistent device file (see intro(7)), which contains an EFI file system, when does not exist yet:
